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? I also have some non-posted patches which tucks away these kernel_read*() exports under a symbol namespace, to avoid wide-spread use / abuse on areas in the kernel, so I'd be happy to take this on if we want to remove it export / lsm hook as part of my series. I did this as there is another series of patches for a new driver which extend these family of functions with a now pread() variant.... Luis
