[PATCH v2 11/11] crypto: skcipher: Remove VLA usage for SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-25 21:11:14
Also in: dm-devel, lkml
Subsystem: crypto api, the rest · Maintainers: Herbert Xu, "David S. Miller", Linus Torvalds

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. In a manual review of the callers of
crypto_skcipher_set_reqsize(), the largest was 384:

4	sun4i_cipher_req_ctx
6	safexcel_cipher_req
8	cryptd_skcipher_request_ctx
80	cipher_req_ctx
80	skcipher_request
96	crypto_rfc3686_req_ctx
104	nitrox_kcrypt_request
144	mv_cesa_skcipher_std_req
384	rctx
