Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] crypto: user - Fix size of netlink dump message
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 09:04:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120329070446.GE1021@secunet.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20120329070347.GD1021@secunet.com>

The default netlink message size limit might be exceeded when dumping a
lot of algorithms to userspace. As a result, not all of the instantiated
algorithms dumped to userspace. So calculate an upper bound on the message
size and call netlink_dump_start() with that value.
