- _d_e_v Device number.
-
- _u_i_o_p Pointer to the _uuuu_iiii_oooo(D4) structure that describes where the data
- is to be fetched from user space.

- _c_r_p Pointer to the user credential structure for the I/O
- transaction.

- The driver _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee routine is called during the _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee(2) system call. The
- _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee routine is responsible for transferring data from the user data
- area to the device.

- The _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee routine should return 0 for success, or the appropriate error
- number.

- This entry point is optional, and is valid for character device drivers
- only.
-
- The pointer to the user credentials, _c_r_p, is available so the driver can
- check to see if the user can write privileged information, if the driver
- provides access to any. The _uuuu_iiii_oooo structure provides the information
- necessary to determine how much data should be transferred. The
- _uuuu_iiii_oooo_mmmm_oooo_vvvv_eeee(D3) function provides a convenient way to copy data using the _uuuu_iiii_oooo
- structure.
-
- Block drivers that provide a character interface can use _pppp_hhhh_yyyy_ssss_iiii_oooo_cccc_kkkk(D3) to
- perform the data transfer with the driver's _ssss_tttt_rrrr_aaaa_tttt_eeee_gggg_yyyy(D2) routine.

- The _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee routine has user context and can sleep.
-
- The write operation is intended to be synchronous from the caller's
- perspective. Minimally, the driver _wwww_rrrr_iiii_tttt_eeee routine should not return until
- the caller's buffer is no longer needed. For drivers that care about
- returning errors, the data should be committed to the device. For
- others, the data might only be copied to local staging buffers. Then the
- data will be committed to the device asynchronously to the user's
