+ * copy_from_user_nmi - NMI safe copy from user
+ * @to:		Pointer to the destination buffer
+ * @from:	Pointer to a user space address of the current task
+ * @n:		Number of bytes to copy
+ *
+ * Returns: The number of not copied bytes. 0 is success, i.e. all bytes copied
+ *
+ * Contrary to other copy_from_user() variants this function can be called
+ * from NMI context. Despite the name it is not restricted to be called
+ * from NMI context. It is safe to be called from any other context as
+ * well. It disables pagefaults across the copy which means a fault will
+ * abort the copy.
+ *
+ * For NMI context invocations this relies on the nested NMI work to allow
+ * atomic faults from the NMI path; the nested NMI paths are careful to
+ * preserve CR2.
