charset="utf-8" Set "opened" to "0" before the hotplug script is called. Once the device node has been opened, set "opened" to "1". "opened" is used exclusively by userspace. It serves two purposes: 1. It tells userspace that the diskseq Xenstore entry is supported. 2. It tells userspace that it can wait for "opened" to be set to 1. Once "opened" is 1, blkback has a reference to the device, so userspace doesn't need to keep one. Together, these changes allow userspace to use block devices with delete-on-close behavior, such as loop devices with the autoclear flag set.
