This isn't correct, as any\npotential freeing of the io_ev_fd should be deferred another RCU grace\nperiod.\n\nJust call io_eventfd_put() rather than open-code the dec-and-test and\nfree, which will correctly defer it another RCU grace period.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2025-01-20T13:48:40.544+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-15T01:02:51.468+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor
