SubjectRe: [PATCH 00/13] Introduce partial kernel_read_file() support
From
Date
Hi Kees,

Thanks for sending out.  This looks different than your other patch series.
We should get the first 5 patches accepted now though as they are
simple cleanups and fixes.  That will reduce the number of outstanding
patches in the series.

At first glance the issue with the changes after that is the existing
API assumes it has read the whole file and failed if it did not.
Now, if the file is larger than the amount requested there is no indication?
