[PATCH 2/2] crypto: user - Fix size of netlink dump message

From: Steffen Klassert <steffen.klassert@secunet.com>
Date: 2012-03-26 07:28:33
Subsystem: crypto api, the rest · Maintainers: Herbert Xu, "David S. Miller", Linus Torvalds

The default netlink message size limit might be exceeded when dumping a
lot of algorithms to userspace. As a result, not all of the instantiated
algorithms dumped to userspace. So calculate an upper bound on the message
size and call netlink_dump_start() with that value.
