[PATCH v5 06/11] dm verity fec: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-17 04:22:28
Also in: dm-devel, lkml
Subsystem: device-mapper (lvm), the rest · Maintainers: Alasdair Kergon, Mike Snitzer, Mikulas Patocka, Benjamin Marzinski, Linus Torvalds

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
uses the newly defined max digest size macro. Also adds a sanity-check
at use-time.
