[PATCH v5 11/11] crypto: skcipher: Remove VLA usage for SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK

From: Kees Cook
Date: Tue Jul 17 2018 - 00:22:09 EST


In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
caps the skcipher request size similar to other limits and adds a sanity
check at registration. Looking at instrumented tcrypt output, the largest
is for lrw:

crypt: testing lrw(aes)
crypto_skcipher_set_reqsize: 8
crypto_skcipher_set_reqsize: 88
crypto_skcipher_set_reqsize: 472
