dynamic changing of file_operations->[read|write].
At least gadgetfs is a victim.
Just for your amusement and as an example:

without counting at least a dozen patches I did on that userland piece
before those which are counted in the above stat. All in order to find
the bug.
So, you can see, I've already spend some hours before I've dived into
the kernel to search for the bug. Of course, the problem in the kernel
is innocent for all the problems I've found in userland which lead me to
the assumption that the -EINVAL returned from a read() after a poll() is
because of some problem in userspace (like memory or stack corruption).
Just in case someone thinks I'm lazy because I don't want to rewrite
gadgetfs and deal with kernel maintainers.
