[PATCH v6 02/18] crypto: cbc: Remove VLA usage

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-24 16:53:14
Also in: dm-devel, linux-block, linux-crypto, linux-pm, linux-wireless, 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.
