Thanks for your help. Is this mail looks OK? This reply should be transmit by pure text format,
but I'm not sure it is OK in you machine.
"Common model", I mean, is the common way to protect the access to registers, using all kinds of
synchronization primitives, in ioctl level or other lower levels.
In our habitual saying, we need this sync-primitives when accessing shared resource in multi-execute-threads,
such as in system call context of several process, or interrupt context.
Commonly speaking, the shared resource is some global data structures, but in my driver, there is only
one ioctl cmd for reading or writing of registers. The calles to this ioctl cmd are comes from several process, or
from interrupt handler maybe. So I think the only ioctl cmd itself may be treated as a shared resource in some degree,
is it true?

Yeah, that's good, I'll try it.
Maybe, there isn't such common protect strategies in such circumstance, but anyway, thanks you two, Peter, and Jeffrey, thanks for your help.
