Subject: [PATCH 1/1] crypto: arm64/aes-neonbs - Move key expansion off the stack
Date: Fri,  6 Mar 2026 02:32:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260305183229.150599-2-yphbchou0911@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260305183229.150599-1-yphbchou0911@gmail.com>

aesbs_setkey() and aesbs_cbc_ctr_setkey() trigger -Wframe-larger-than=
warnings due to struct crypto_aes_ctx being allocated on the stack,
causing the frame size to exceed 1024 bytes.

Allocate struct crypto_aes_ctx on the heap instead to reduce stack
usage. Use a goto-based cleanup path to ensure memzero_explicit() and
kfree() are always called.
