For whole devices ->open is called for each open, but for partitions it
is only called on the first open of a partition, e.g.:
open("/dev/vdb", ...)
open("/dev/vdb", ...)
- 2 call to ->open
open("/dev/vdb1", ...)
open("/dev/vdb", ...)
- 2 call to ->open
open("/dev/vdb", ...)
open("/dev/vdb", ...)
- just open call to ->open
This is problematic as various block drivers look at open flags and
might not do all the required setup if the earlier open was with an
odd flag like O_NDELAY or the magic 3 ioctl-only open mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
