+ * xt_copy_counters_from_user - copy counters and metadata from userspace
+ *
+ * @user: src pointer to userspace memory
+ * @len: alleged size of userspace memory
+ * @info: where to store the xt_counters_info metadata
+ * @compat: true if we setsockopt call is done by 32bit task on 64bit kernel
+ *
+ * Copies counter meta data from @user and stores it in @info.
+ *
+ * vmallocs memory to hold the counters, then copies the counter data
+ * from @user to the new memory and returns a pointer to it.
+ *
+ * If @compat is true, @info gets converted automatically to the 64bit
+ * representation.
+ *
+ * The metadata associated with the counters is stored in @info.
+ *
+ * Return: returns pointer that caller has to test via IS_ERR().
+ * If IS_ERR is false, caller has to vfree the pointer.
