It looks like the problem is if the app is shutting down the user of a device and gets a signal while waiting in a poll call (before do_poll has called do_pollfd and that has done a fdget), the app shutting down the device will proceed to do the close on the uio device and the kernel will eventually do a uio_unregister_device which frees the uio device resources. However, the kernel could restart the poll like we see above. The restarted poll call could then race with the app shutdown and call into the uio_poll callout and reference memory freed by uio_unregister_device.

To fix this:

- It looks like the userspace app could use ppoll instead of poll since it does not support restarting poll from the kernel.

- Maybe the poll code could do a fdget/fget on the uio device's fd/file when it decides to the the restart (note uio does not have refcounting so we would need to add that to support this
