[PATCH 4/7] MIPS: use read wrappers in kernel loading

Andre Przywara andre.przywara at arm.com
Fri Oct 30 11:26:57 PDT 2015


Replace the unsafe read-loops used in the MIPS kernel image loading
with our safe read_file() and read_in_full() wrappers.
This should fix random fails in kernel image loading, especially
from pipes and sockets.
