+ * _copy_to_iter_mcsafe - copy to user with source-read error exception handling
+ * @addr: source kernel address
+ * @bytes: total transfer length
+ * @iter: destination iterator
+ *
+ * The pmem driver arranges for filesystem-dax to use this facility via
+ * dax_copy_to_iter() for protecting read/write to persistent memory.
+ * Unless / until an architecture can guarantee identical performance
+ * between _copy_to_iter_mcsafe() and _copy_to_iter() it would be a
+ * performance regression to switch more users to the mcsafe version.
+ *
+ * Otherwise, the main differences between this and typical _copy_to_iter().
+ *
+ * * Typical tail/residue handling after a fault retries the copy
+ * byte-by-byte until the fault happens again. Re-triggering machine
+ * checks is potentially fatal so the implementation uses source
+ * alignment and poison alignment assumptions to avoid re-triggering
+ * hardware exceptions.
+ *
+ * * ITER_KVEC, ITER_PIPE, and ITER_BVEC can return short copies.
+ * Compare to copy_to_iter() where only ITER_IOVEC attempts might return
+ * a short copy.

+ * See MCSAFE_TEST for self-test.
