+ * __copy_from_user: - Copy a block of data from user space, with less checking.
+ * @to: Destination address, in kernel space.
+ * @from: Source address, in user space.
+ * @n: Number of bytes to copy.
+ *
+ * Context: User context only. This function may sleep.
+ *
+ * Copy data from user space to kernel space. Caller must check
+ * the specified block with access_ok() before calling this function.
+ *
+ * Returns number of bytes that could not be copied.
+ * On success, this will be zero.
+ *
+ * If some data could not be copied, this function will pad the copied
+ * data to the requested size using zero bytes.
+ *
+ * An alternate version - __copy_from_user_inatomic() - may be called from
+ * atomic context and will fail rather than sleep. In this case the
+ * uncopied bytes will *NOT* be padded with zeros. See fs/filemap.h
+ * for explanation of why this is needed.
