The etb10 miscdevice uses drvdata->reading as a shared exclusivity gate for userspace buffer access. etb_open() claims that gate with local_cmpxchg(), and etb_release() clears it with local_set().

That gate is shared per-device state rather than CPU-local state. A running system can reach it whenever /dev/<etb> is opened, closed, and reopened by different tasks while the device remains registered, so the same drvdata->reading variable may be claimed on one CPU and later cleared on another.

Applied, thanks!
