Yes - but that check happens after the call to crypto_shash_update().

Perhaps integrity_kernel_read() will never return (rbuf_len) that will
  => violate the check in the "while" statement.
  => number of bytes read that is greater than the memory allocated for 
rbuf even in error conditions.

Just making sure.
