If this patch series is re-done, can we tweak the description here 
please?? From what I understood of the code in this patch, I'd tweak it as:

"Differentiate between the kernel reading a file specified by userspace 
and the kernel loading a block of data provided by userspace.? This 
patch defines a new LSM hook named security_kernel_load_data()."

 From the description, I got a tad confused if the the kernel
reading a file was also provided by userspace (I know it may be 2nd-
nature to people on this list, I'm still learning this kernel
module).
Could we replace "a block of data provided by userspace" with just
"data provided by userspace"?
