[PATCH 6/6] crypto: cfb - avoid VLA use

From: Salvatore Mesoraca
Date: Mon Apr 09 2018 - 09:56:02 EST


We avoid 3 VLAs[1] by always allocating MAX_BLOCKSIZE bytes or,
when needed for alignement, MAX_BLOCKSIZE + MAX_ALIGNMASK bytes.
We also check the selected cipher at instance creation time, if
it doesn't comply with these limits, the creation will fail.
