As suggested by Laura Abbott[2], I'm resending my patch with
MAX_BLOCKSIZE and MAX_ALIGNMASK defined in an header, so they
can be used in other places.
I take this opportuinuty to deal with some other VLAs not
handled in the old patch.

We avoid a VLA[1] by always allocating MAX_BLOCKSIZE +
MAX_ALIGNMASK bytes.
We also check the selected cipher at initialization time, if
it doesn't comply with these limits, the initialization will
fail.

No please don't put this here if you intend on using it everywhere.
This file is reserved for truly internal bits.
Perhaps include/crypto/algapi.h would be a better place.

This check should be done when the algorithm is registered. Perhaps

Since you're also adding a check to cipher algorithms in general,
none of these individual checks are needed anymore.

Fair enough.
After removing the individual checks the modification to the single files
will be just a couple of lines, is it OK for you if I collapse all of them in
just a single commit?

Please correct me if I'm wrong:
isn't crypto_check_alg invoked also during hashing algorithm registration?
In this patch-set I'm dealing only with ciphers, because the maximum
block size (16)
is relatively small and it's also the most common block size with
ciphers (maybe I should
have explicitly referenced ciphers in the macro names, my bad).
I don't think that it would be OK to use a similar approach for hashes
too, because some
of them have block size >= 1024 bytes.
Thank you for your time,
Salvatore

Yes we want to make it for ciphers only even if we move it to
crypto_check_alg.
For a legacy type like cipher cou can do it by
if (!alg->cra_type && (alg->cra_flags & CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_MASK) ==
CRYPTO_ALG_TYPE_CIPHER)
do_cipher_specific_check();
