We're interested in getting rid of all of the stack allocated arrays in the kernel [1]. This patch simply hardcodes the iv length to match that of the hardcoded cipher. [1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 v2: hardcode the length of the nonce to be the GCM AES IV length, and do a sanity check in init(), Eric Biggers v3: * remember to free big_key_aead when sanity check fails * define a constant for big key IV size so it can be changed along side the algorithm in the code Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen <redacted> CC: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> CC: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> CC: "Serge E.

Please consider this and patches 2 and 3: Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <redacted> James, are these something you can take into your tree? Thanks! -Kees
