The rest of this series is pretty straight-forward, and I'd like to get them tested in -next while we continue to chip away at the *_REQUEST_ON_STACK VLA removal patches separately. "Part 2" will continue with those. v2: - use 512 instead of PAGE_SIZE / 8 to avoid bloat on large-page archs. - swtich xcbc to "16" max universally. - fix typo in bounds check for dm buffer size. - examine actual reqsizes for skcipher and ahash instead of guessing. - improve names and comments for alg maxes This is nearly the last of the VLA removals[1], but it's one of the largest because crypto gets used in lots of places. After looking through code, usage, reading the threads Gustavo started, and comparing the use-cases to the other VLA removals that have landed in the kernel, I think this series is likely the best way forward to shut the door on VLAs forever. As background, the crypto stack usage is for callers to do an immediate bit of work that doesn't allocate new memory. This means that other VLA removal techniques (like just using kmalloc) aren't workable, and the next common technique is needed: examination of maximum stack usage and the addition of sanity checks. This series does that, and in several cases, these maximums were already implicit in the code. This series is intended to land via the crypto tree, though it touches dm as well, since there are dependent patches (new crypto #defines being used).
