+/// The type used for userspace addresses.
+pub type UserPtr = usize;
+
+/// A pointer to an area in userspace memory, which can be either read-only or read-write.
+///
+/// All methods on this struct are safe: attempting to read or write on bad addresses (either out of
+/// the bound of the slice or unmapped addresses) will return [`EFAULT`]. Concurrent access,
+/// *including data races to/from userspace memory*, is permitted, because fundamentally another
+/// 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`].
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// Takes a region of userspace memory from the current process, and modify it by adding one to
+/// every byte in the region.
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use alloc::vec::Vec;
+/// use core::ffi::c_void;
+/// use kernel::error::Result;
+/// use kernel::uaccess::{UserPtr, UserSlice};
+///
+/// fn bytes_add_one(uptr: UserPtr, len: usize) -> Result<()> {
+/// let (read, mut write) = UserSlice::new(uptr, len).reader_writer();
+///
+/// let mut buf = Vec::new();
+/// read.read_all(&mut buf, GFP_KERNEL)?;
+///
+/// for b in &mut buf {
+/// *b = b.wrapping_add(1);
+/// }
+///
+/// write.write_slice(&buf)?;
+/// Ok(())
