[Drbd-dev] [PATCH v6 01/18] crypto: xcbc: Remove VLA usage

[Kees Cook]

In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the maximum blocksize and adds a sanity check. For xcbc, the blocksize
must always be 16, so use that, since it's already being enforced during
instantiation.
