Provide a means to copy a page to user space from an iterator, aborting if a page fault would occur. This supports compound pages, but may be passed a tail page with an offset extending further into the compound page, so we cannot pass a folio. This allows for this function to be called from atomic context and _try_ to user pages if they are faulted in, aborting if not. The function does not use _copy_to_iter() in order to not specify might_fault(), this is similar to copy_page_from_iter_atomic(). This is being added in order that an iteratable form of vread() can be implemented while holding spinlocks.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
