Hi,

Ming Lei made me look. I found a scenario I don't like.
Suppose we have a device with two interfaces #1 and #0
Let #1 be storage and #0 be vendor specific and the skeleton driver bound to it.


CPU A                                                                           
                                                        CPU B

skel_read()
mutex_lock_interruptible(&dev->io_mutex)
copy_to_user(...)
page fault
schedule reading a page from interface #0
                                                                                
                                                                
usb_stor_port_reset()
                                                                                
                                                                
usb_reset_device()
                                                                                
                                                                drv->pre_reset()
                                                                                
                                                                skel_pre_reset()
                                                                                
                                                                
mutex_lock(&dev->io_mutex)

Contrary to the usual scenario you don't need writable mmap. In fact it could 
happen with a scratched CD.
What do you think?

        Regards
                Oliver
