Subject: [PATCH 1/4] KEYS: Increase the payload size when instantiating a key
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2008 16:04:24 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080208160424.14436.6965.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
Increase the size of a payload that can be used to instantiate a key in
add_key() and keyctl_instantiate_key(). This permits huge CIFS SPNEGO blobs to
be passed around. The limit is raised to 1MB. If kmalloc() can't allocate a
buffer of sufficient size, vmalloc() will be tried instead.
