[ 14.083622] ==================================================================

The actual tracing of this bug is shown below:

commit 8c71fe750215 ("io_uring: ensure fput() called correspondingly
when direct install fails") adds an additional fput() in
io_fixed_fd_install() when io_file_bitmap_get() returns error values. In
that case, the routine will never make it to io_install_fixed_file() due
to an early return.

static int io_fixed_fd_install(...)
{
if (alloc_slot) {
...
ret = io_file_bitmap_get(ctx);
if (unlikely(ret < 0)) {
io_ring_submit_unlock(ctx, issue_flags);
fput(file);
return ret;
}
...
}
...
ret = io_install_fixed_file(req, file, issue_flags, file_slot);
...
}

In the above scenario, the reference is okay as io_fixed_fd_install()
ensures the fput() is called when something bad happens, either via
bitmap or via inner io_install_fixed_file().

However, the commit 61c1b44a21d7 ("io_uring: fix deadlock on iowq file
slot alloc") breaks the balance because it places fput() into the common
path for both io_file_bitmap_get() and io_install_fixed_file(). Since
io_install_fixed_file() handles the fput() itself, the reference
underflow come across then.

There are some extra commits make the current code into
io_fixed_fd_install() -> __io_fixed_fd_install() ->
io_install_fixed_file()

However, the fact that there is an extra fput() is called if
io_install_fixed_file() calls fput(). Traversing through the code, I
find that the existing two callers to __io_fixed_fd_install():
io_fixed_fd_install() and io_msg_send_fd() have fput() when handling
error return, this patch simply removes the fput() in
io_install_fixed_file() to fix the bug.
