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.
