From 6209dd9132e8ea5545cffc84483841e88ea8cc5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 8 May 2020 09:00:28 +0200 Subject: fs: implement kernel_read using __kernel_read Consolidate the two in-kernel read helpers to make upcoming changes easier. The only difference are the missing call to rw_verify_area in kernel_read, and an access_ok check that doesn't make sense for kernel buffers to start with.
