If you *must* share the variable between interrupt and non-interrupt
context, you must mutex it in an interrupt safe way.  The use of
spin_lock_irqsave() comes to mind for you read function.

But you are going to have other problems with this approach anyways
since you "appear" to be assuming a one-to-one relationship between your
interrupt handler and the read function.  Is that really true?
