Subject: shash_alg size fields and stomping memory
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:29:16 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DADD47C.1080701@borg.org> (raw)
In struct shash_alg what are the various sizes for? (WOuld be cool to
know what everything is for in those alg structures...)
My most recent discovery is that if I want to do an shash_desc_ctx() and
use the result, cra_ctxsize doesn't seem to mean a thing. Rather,
unless I set descsize, memory will be stomped.
And, while I am at it, what is "cra"?
-kb, the Kent who would love to RTFM but there doesn't seem to be an FM.
