[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 10/11] crypto: ahash: Remove VLA usage for AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK

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 registration. Unfortunately, these reqsizes can be huge. Looking
at all callers of crypto_ahash_set_reqsize(), the largest appears to be
664 bytes, based on a combination of manual inspection and pahole output:

4       dcp_sha_req_ctx
40      crypto4xx_ctx
52      hash_req_ctx
80      ahash_request
88      rk_ahash_rctx
104     sun4i_req_ctx
200     mcryptd_hash_request_ctx
216     safexcel_ahash_req
228     sha1_hash_ctx
228     sha256_hash_ctx
248     img_hash_request_ctx
252     mtk_sha_reqctx
276     sahara_sha_reqctx
304     mv_cesa_ahash_req
316     iproc_reqctx_s
320     caam_hash_state
320     qce_sha_reqctx
356     sha512_hash_ctx
384     ahash_req_ctx
400     chcr_ahash_req_ctx
416     stm32_hash_request_ctx
432     talitos_ahash_req_ctx
462     atmel_sha_reqctx
496     ccp_aes_cmac_req_ctx
616     ccp_sha_req_ctx
664     artpec6_hash_request_context

So, this chooses 720 as a larger "round" number for the max.
