Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fs/kernel_read_file: Allow to read files up-to ssize_t
Date:   Fri, 27 May 2022 02:55:34 +0000
Message-Id: <20220527025535.3953665-2-pasha.tatashin@soleen.com>

Currently, the maximum file size that is supported is 2G. This may be
too small in some cases. For example, kexec_file_load() system call
loads initramfs. In some netboot cases initramfs can be rather large.

Allow to use up-to ssize_t bytes. The callers still can limit the
maximum file size via buf_size.
