Subject: [PATCH 2/3] dh key: get rid of stack allocated array
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 19:03:20 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180424010321.14739-2-tycho@tycho.ws> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180424010321.14739-1-tycho@tycho.ws>
We're interested in getting rid of all of the stack allocated arrays in the
kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621
This particular vla is used as a temporary output buffer in case there is
too much hash output for the destination buffer. Instead, let's just
allocate a buffer that's big enough initially, but only copy back to
userspace the amount that was originally asked for.
v2: allocate enough in the original output buffer vs creating a temporary
output buffer
