/// userspace thread/process could always be modifying memory at the same time (in the same way that
/// userspace Rust's [`std::io`] permits data races with the contents of files on disk). In the
/// presence of a race, the exact byte values read/written are unspecified but the operation is
/// well-defined. Kernelspace code should validate its copy of data after completing a read, and not
/// expect that multiple reads of the same address will return the same value.
///
/// These APIs are designed to make it difficult to accidentally write TOCTOU (time-of-check to
/// time-of-use) bugs. Every time a memory location is read, the reader's position is advanced by
/// the read length and the next read will start from there. This helps prevent accidentally reading
/// the same location twice and causing a TOCTOU bug.
///
/// Creating a [`UserSliceReader`] and/or [`UserSliceWriter`] consumes the `UserSlice`, helping
/// ensure that there aren't multiple readers or writers to the same location.

/// If double-fetching a memory location is necessary for some reason, then that is done by creating
/// multiple readers to the same memory location, e.g. using [`clone_reader`].
