[dm-devel] [PATCH v2] crypto, dm: LLVMLinux: Remove VLAIS usage from dm-crypt

[behanw at converseincode.com]

From: Jan-Simon Möller <dl9pf at gmx.de>

The use of variable length arrays in structs (VLAIS) in the Linux Kernel code
precludes the use of compilers which don't implement VLAIS (for instance the
Clang compiler). This patch instead allocates the appropriate amount of memory
using an char array.

struct shash_desc contains a flexible array member member ctx declared with
CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR, so sizeof(struct shash_desc) aligns the beginning
of the array declared after struct shash_desc with long long.

No trailing padding is required because it is not a struct type that can
be used in an array.

The CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR is required so that desc is aligned with long long
as would be the case for a struct containing a member with
CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR.
