[dm-devel] [PATCH v5 10/11] crypto: ahash: Remove VLA usage for AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK

[Kees Cook]

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this caps
the ahash request size similar to the other limits and adds a sanity
check at initialization. AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK is special, though: it
is only ever used for shash-wrapped ahash, so its size is bounded only
by non-async hashes. A manual inspection of this shows the largest to be:
sizeof(struct shash_desc) + SHASH_MAX_DESCSIZE
