    Subject[PATCH v8 0/9] crypto: Remove VLA usage
    Date
    v8 cover letter:

    I continue to hope this can land in v4.19, but I realize that's unlikely.
    It would be nice, though, if some of the "trivial" patches could get taken
    (e.g. cbc, xcbc, ccm VLA removals) so I don't have to keep repeating them.
    *fingers crossed*

    Series cover letter:

    This is nearly the last of the VLA removals[1], but it's one of the
    largest because crypto gets used in lots of places. After looking
    through code, usage, reading the threads Gustavo started, and comparing
    the use-cases to the other VLA removals that have landed in the kernel,
    I think this series is likely the best way forward to shut the door on
    VLAs forever.

    For background, the crypto stack usage is for callers to do an immediate
    bit of work that doesn't allocate new memory. This means that other VLA
    removal techniques (like just using kmalloc) aren't workable, and the
    next common technique is needed: examination of maximum stack usage and
    the addition of sanity checks. This series does that, and in several
    cases, these maximums were already implicit in the code.

    This series is intended to land via the crypto tree for 4.19, though it
    touches dm, networking, and a few other things as well, since there are
    dependent patches (new crypto #defines being used, etc).

    Thanks!

    Changelog:

    v8:
    - remove "impossible condition" BUG-check in cbc.

    v7:
    - refresh and reorganize without ahash->shash conversions
    - merge hash maximums for both shash and ahash

    v6:
    - make xcbc blocksize unconditional
    - add ahash-to-shash conversion patch series to entirely remove
    AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK from the kernel

    v5:
    - limit AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK size only to non-async hash wrapping.
    - sanity-check ahash reqsize only when doing shash wrapping.
    - remove frame_warn changes in favor of shash conversions and other fixes.
    - send ahash to shash conversion patches and other fixes separately.

    v4:
    - add back *_REQUEST_ON_STACK patches.
    - programmatically find stack sizes for *_REQUEST_ON_STACK patches.
    - whitelist some code that trips FRAME_WARN on 32-bit builds.
    - fix alignment patches.

    v3:
    - drop *_REQUEST_ON_STACK patches. The rest of this series is pretty
    straight-forward, and I'd like to get them tested in -next while
    we continue to chip away at the *_REQUEST_ON_STACK VLA removal patches
    separately. "Part 2" will continue with those.

    v2:
    - use 512 instead of PAGE_SIZE / 8 to avoid bloat on large-page archs.
    - swtich xcbc to "16" max universally.
    - fix typo in bounds check for dm buffer size.
    - examine actual reqsizes for skcipher and ahash instead of guessing.
    - improve names and comments for alg maxes
