We're interested in getting rid of all of the stack allocated arrays in the kernel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/7/621 This particular vla is used as a temporary output buffer in case there is too much hash output for the destination buffer. Instead, let's just allocate a buffer that's big enough initially, but only copy back to userspace the amount that was originally asked for. v2: allocate enough in the original output buffer vs creating a temporary output buffer Signed-off-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho@tycho.ws> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> CC: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> CC: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org> CC: "Serge E.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
