[PATCH 1/1] io_uring: don't scm-account for non af_unix sockets

[PATCH 1/1] io_uring: don't scm-account for non af_unix sockets

[Pavel Begunkov]

io_uring deals with file reference loops by registering all fixed files
in the SCM/GC infrastrucure. However, only a small subset of all file
types can keep long-term references to other files and those that don't
are not interesting for the garbage collector as they can't be in a
reference loop. They neither can be directly recycled by GC nor affect
loop searching.

Let's skip io_uring SCM accounting for loop-less files, i.e. all but
af_unix sockets, quite imroving fixed file updates performance and
greatly helpnig with memory footprint.
