During my driver development I noticed that even when there is but one open call made to a device, the release function in the driver is not called until the application exits. Why is it not called when I call close(whatever)? My test is on a 4 line program with a single open and close. The release function is not called until the main()function exits. If I want to have the ability to reset the device during operation a call to close followed by a new open would be ideal. How can I accomplish this?
