Hmm... what about fget_light() ... is it Davide fault too ?

aio breaks the fget_light() concept too, if process is mono threaded.

/*
 * Lightweight file lookup - no refcnt increment if fd table isn't shared.
 * You can use this only if it is guranteed that the current task already
 * holds a refcnt to that file. That check has to be done at fget() only
 * and a flag is returned to be passed to the corresponding fput_light().
 * There must not be a cloning between an fget_light/fput_light pair.
 */
struct file *fget_light(unsigned int fd, int *fput_needed)
{
        struct file *file;
        struct files_struct *files = current->files;

        *fput_needed = 0;
        if (likely((atomic_read(&files->count) == 1))) {
                file = fcheck_files(files, fd);
        } else {
                rcu_read_lock();
                file = fcheck_files(files, fd);
                if (file) {
                        if (atomic_long_inc_not_zero(&file->f_count))
                                *fput_needed = 1;
                        else
                                /* Didn't get the reference, someone's freed */
