Not necessarily. You're requesting a file to be created and to be opened afterwards with O_DIRECT support and what we do in this case is fail the open even though the create was successful.
Stuff like that can also happen in other cases. In containers you can end up with scenarios where you fail to open a file you created - probably hard to create but possible. Other scenarios would be were your LSM allows you to create files but not to open them.
