[PATCH v8 2/9] crypto: cbc: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-07 21:19:27
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 upper bounds on blocksize. Since this is always a cipher
blocksize, use the existing cipher max blocksize.
