LGTM, and this is similar to get_file() in __pollwait() and fput() in
free_poll_entry() used in implementation of poll(). Please resubmit to

I guess the problem is addressed by commit 4efaa5acf0a1 ("epoll: be better
about file lifetimes") which was pushed upstream just before v6.9-rc7.

Yeah, Linus took care of that after convincing Al that this is really a bug.
They key missing information was that we have a mutex which makes sure
that fput() blocks for epoll to stop the polling.
It also means that you should probably re-consider using epoll together
with shared DMA-bufs. Background is that when both client and display
server try to use epoll the kernel will return an error because there
can only be one user of epoll.
