Thanks all!
Based upon the information I got back, double buffering is in fact the route I should take for this driver. To answer a couple of questions (in case you care ;) ): I'm doing some simple data transfer over a small buffer (<PAGE_SIZE), where data loss is less important than getting the data off the device. I asked a more general question since I'm still a neophyte in the Linux kernel and want to know more than just what's needed for this specific driver.
Thank you all for your insights; I can see there's a lot to learn. :)
