you return different value as what has really been consumed:

>         if (*f_pos + count > MAX_DSIZE)
>                 count1 = MAX_DSIZE - *f_pos;
>
>         if (copy_from_user (temp_dev->data+*f_pos, buf, count1)) {
>                 rv = -EFAULT;
>                 goto wrap_up;
>         }
>         up (&temp_dev->sem);
>         *f_pos += count1;
>         return count;

may be it confuses the rest of kernel a bit?
