[PATCH v5 01/11] crypto: xcbc: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-17 04:21:59
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 uses
the maximum blocksize and adds a sanity check. For xcbc, the blocksize
must always be 16, so use that, since it's already being enforced during
instantiation.
