[PATCH 3/6] crypto: api - avoid VLA use

From: Salvatore Mesoraca
Date: Mon Apr 09 2018 - 09:54:54 EST


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.
