Greg mentioned that, we might need to "explicit about the numbers here, because it
is uncerntain this is guaranteed by all C compilers or not."

My understanding is that, this applys to both uapi headers and the kernel internal
headers.

Here is my understanding: if the userspace has provided insufficient space,
the userspace might either encounter segfault or data overwrite, and it is up
to the userspace to avoid this situation from happening.
for example:

int my_test(void)
{
char *cap_on_heap = malloc(insufficient_size);
char cap_on_stack[insufficient_size];
int victim;
...
}

copy_to_user(cap_on_heap) might cause segfault, and copy_to_user(cap_on_stack) might
overwrite victim.

I did not realize devm_add_action_or_reset() could be used in (1) to deal with
this situation, will do in next version.
