VFIO group has historically allowed multi-open of the device FD. This was made secure because the "open" was executed via an ioctl to the group FD which is itself only single open. However, no known use of multiple device FDs today. It is kind of a strange thing to do because new device FDs can naturally be created via dup(). When we implement the new device uAPI (only used in cdev path) there is no natural way to allow the device itself from being multi-opened in a secure manner. Without the group FD we cannot prove the security context of the opener. Thus, when moving to the new uAPI we block the ability of opening a device multiple times. Given old group path still allows it we store a vfio_group pointer in struct vfio_device_file to differentiate.

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.
