 /*
  * Copy as much as we can into the page and return the number of bytes which
  * were sucessfully copied.  If a fault is encountered then clear the page
  * out to (offset+bytes) and return the number of bytes which were copied.
+ *
+ * NOTE: For this to work reliably we really want copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache
+ * to *NOT* zero any tail of the buffer that it failed to copy.  If it does,
+ * and if the following non-atomic copy succeeds, then there is a small window
+ * where the target page contains neither the data before the write, nor the
+ * data after the write (it contains zero).  A read at this time will see
+ * data that is inconsistent with any ordering of the read and the write.
+ * (This has been detected in practice).
