chrdev_open lifetime question

[Dmitry Torokhov]

Hi,

It seems that if a process keeps a character device open then other
processes will also be able to get into filp->f_op->open(inode,filp)
in chrdev_open() even after a driver called cdev_del() as part of its
unwind procedure. Is this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks!
