I made some improvements here:
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/linux/wip.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/for-5.6/io_uring-vfs
Feel free to squash
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/linux/wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=ce8812c9b935467bb08ed4d528dd92b9f67e221c
into
https://git.samba.org/?p=metze/linux/wip.git;a=commitdiff;h=22021e95e73d4658a6c834a3276886e127ab8425
and add my review to it.
If you're confident that it's safe you can
call io_req_work_drop_env() also in io_put_work(),
