page-faulting in copy_xxx_user

Are there any conditions under which a fault in copy_xx_user _won't_ be
trapped and returned as a error (incomplete copy)?

I'm looking over an oops report that went
sys_newfstat->do_page_fault->die_if_kernel->do_exit
etc., presumably by way of copy_xxx_user.

If there are some faults that aren't being trapped, this would have
major ramifications for cleanup after errors ..

Regards,
Bill
