_monitor_fs does not seem to hold reference to callback

uvloop version: 0.17.0
python version: 3.8.10
platform: linux

The bug can be reproduced with the below script. I call _monitor_fs on the loop, passing in a function callback that itself has a reference to the file I'm reading as well as the handle to the _monitor_fs. I set a timer to later call gc.collect and when that happens, my object gets deleted and I stop getting read events.

This does seem to be a bug because the loop itself should have reference to my callback which has a reference to my object and that object has a reference to the file and handle, so GC should not be collecting them.

    def __init__(self, f: typing.IO):
        self.f = f
        self.handle = None

    def __del__(self):
        print('goodbye cruel world')

class FileWatcher:
    _proc: typing.Optional[subprocess.Popen]

    def __init__(self):
        self._loop = uvloop.new_event_loop()
        self._proc = None
        self._last_read_event = 0

    def _do_read(self, file_and_handle: FileAndHandle, _os_fn: bytes, _ev_enum: int):
        self._last_read_event = self._loop.time()
        print(f'read: {repr(file_and_handle.f.read())}')

    def _check_read_timer(self):
        t = self._loop.time()
        if t - self._last_read_event > 3:
            print('stopped getting read events')
            self._proc.kill()
            self._loop.stop()
        else:
            self._loop.call_later(1, self._check_read_timer)

    def _start_watching(self, f_path: str) -> None:
        fah = FileAndHandle(open(f_path))
        fah.handle = self._loop._monitor_fs(f_path, functools.partial(self._do_read, fah))

    def main(self) -> None:
        with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp_dir:
            pth = os.path.join(tmp_dir, "file.txt")
            open(pth, 'wt').close()
            self._proc = subprocess.Popen([sys.executable, '-c', f'''
import time
with open("{pth}", "wt") as f:
    while True:
        time.sleep(2)
        f.write("hello\\n")
        f.flush()
'''])
            self._start_watching(pth)
            self._loop.call_later(3, self._check_read_timer)
            self._loop.call_later(15, gc.collect)
            self._loop.run_forever()

Ejecuta el reproducer proporcionado y observa si los eventos dejan de producirse después de gc.collect. Luego sigue el punto de entrada _monitor_fs y el manejo de su callback; se considera terminado cuando el callback y su FileAndHandle referenciado siguen siendo utilizables y los eventos de lectura continúan después de la recolección de basura.
