+ * The ffd.file pointer may be in the process of being torn down due to
+ * being closed, but we may not have finished eventpoll_release() yet.
+ *
+ * Normally, even with the atomic_long_inc_not_zero, the file may have
+ * been free'd and then gotten re-allocated to something else (since
+ * files are not RCU-delayed, they are SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU).
+ *
+ * But for epoll, users hold the ep->mtx mutex, and as such any file in
+ * the process of being free'd will block in eventpoll_release_file()
+ * and thus the underlying file allocation will not be free'd, and the
+ * file re-use cannot happen.
+ *
+ * For the same reason we can avoid a rcu_read_lock() around the
+ * operation - 'ffd.file' cannot go away even if the refcount has
+ * reached zero (but we must still not call out to ->poll() functions
+ * etc).
