When creating a second node via copy or assignment: node2 = node The node being assigned to, i.e. node2, obtains the fd. This causes a later call to node2.media_open to close() the fd, thus unintendenly closing the original node fd, via the call path (e.g. for media devices): node2.media_open v4l_media_open v4l_media_s_fd Similar call paths apply for other device types. Fix this by removing the close in xxx_s_fd.
