I had these shitty with_* wrappers for doig shit with handles in tpm2sh.
Now I'm switching to Drop traits + threadpool i.e. pretty much what every other driver does in kernel with workqueue, so using a known good pattern.
As I've understood it (might be wrong too please correct) e.g., in a Drop trait implementation it is disallowed to block.
[in drivers you tend to do this a lot e.g., given possible race conditions with fput() and releasing the resources]
