io_uring: Don't require reinitable percpu_ref

[PATCH] io_uring: Don't require reinitable percpu_ref

Posted by Michal Koutný 3 years, 9 months ago

The commit 8bb649ee1da3 ("io_uring: remove ring quiesce for
io_uring_register") removed the worklow relying on reinit/resurrection
of the percpu_ref, hence, initialization with that requested is a relic.

This is based on code review, this causes no real bug (and theoretically
can't). Technically it's a revert of commit 214828962dea ("io_uring:
initialize percpu refcounters using PERCU_REF_ALLOW_REINIT") but since
the flag omission is now justified, I'm not making this a revert.

Fixes: 8bb649ee1da3 ("io_uring: remove ring quiesce for io_uring_register")

Thanks, applied manually for 5.20 (new file location).
