Incidentally, why is that thing exported?
Both kernel_read_file_from_fd() and kernel_read_file() are exported
because they have users, however kernel_read_file() only has security
stuff as a user. Do we want to get rid of the lsm hook for it?
Alright, yeah just the export needs to be removed. I have a patch
series dealing with these callers so will add it to my queue.
When will these changes make it into linux-next?
It is difficult for me to complete my patch series without these other
misc. changes in place.
Sorry, I see the patch series is still being worked on (missing changelog,
comments, etc).
Hopefully the patches stabilize so I can apply my changes on top fairly
soon.
Yeah I have to redo that series to take into account feedback. I'll be
sure cc you on that. I have a few other series to attend to before that,
so I think this will take a week.

  Luis
