+
+In uc_ubus_channel_req_cb an extra ref is taken for args and method,
+which are not used elsewhere.

+Subject: [PATCH] ubus: avoid double close of externally owned channel fds
+
+When a channel is opened via an fd obtained through fileno(), the fd is
+owned by an external resource. Track this in fd_handle and detach from
+uloop without closing the fd on disconnect/shutdown.
