+ * copy_struct_from_user: copy a struct from userspace
+ * @dst: Destination address, in kernel space. This buffer must be @ksize
+ * bytes long.
+ * @ksize: Size of @dst struct.
+ * @src: Source address, in userspace.
+ * @usize: (Alleged) size of @src struct.
+ *
+ * Copies a struct from userspace to kernel space, in a way that guarantees
+ * backwards-compatibility for struct syscall arguments (as long as future
+ * struct extensions are made such that all new fields are *appended* to the
+ * old struct, and zeroed-out new fields have the same meaning as the old
+ * struct).
+ *
+ * @ksize is just sizeof(*dst), and @usize should've been passed by userspace.
+ * The recommended usage is something like the following:
+ *
+ * SYSCALL_DEFINE2(foobar, const struct foo __user *, uarg, size_t, usize)
+ * {
+ * int err;
+ * struct foo karg = {};
+ *
+ * if (usize > PAGE_SIZE)
+ * return -E2BIG;
+ * if (usize < FOO_SIZE_VER0)
+ * return -EINVAL;
+ *
+ * err = copy_struct_from_user(&karg, sizeof(karg), uarg, usize);
+ * if (err)
+ * return err;
+ *
+ * // ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * There are three cases to consider:
+ * * If @usize == @ksize, then it's copied verbatim.
+ * * If @usize < @ksize, then the userspace has passed an old struct to a
+ * newer kernel. The rest of the trailing bytes in @dst (@ksize - @usize)
+ * are to be zero-filled.
+ * * If @usize > @ksize, then the userspace has passed a new struct to an
+ * older kernel. The trailing bytes unknown to the kernel (@usize - @ksize)
+ * are checked to ensure they are zeroed, otherwise -E2BIG is returned.
+ *
+ * Returns (in all cases, some data may have been copied):
+ * * -E2BIG: (@usize > @ksize) and there are non-zero trailing bytes in @src.
+ * * -EFAULT: access to userspace failed.
