[PATCH v5 06/16] fs/kernel_read_file: Switch buffer size arg to size_t

From: Kees Cook
Date: Fri Oct 02 2020 - 13:39:54 EST


In preparation for further refactoring of kernel_read_file*(), rename
the "max_size" argument to the more accurate "buf_size", and correct
its type to size_t. Add kerndoc to explain the specifics of how the
arguments will be used. Note that with buf_size now size_t, it can no
longer be negative (and was never called with a negative value). Adjust
callers to use it as a "maximum size" when *buf is NULL.
