That's exactly the point! These are completely different and should be seperated. open() means they *intend* to use the device and as a result, should allocate the bandwidth they deserve. Once again, this is called bandwidth reservation. Reservation means to hold for one's use. It doesn't directly correlate to when it is actually used. You reserve a hotel room, for instance, before you use it. It's merely a guarantee for future usage.
