and the user says how large his buffer is in the request,
and if that is not large enough you return -ETOOBIG or
some similarly discernable error code so that userspace
can allocate a larger buffer.  In fact, the kernel can
rewrite the "size" field in this case to indicate how
large the buffer needs to be to hold the full address.

Agreed.
