[PATCH v2 0/2] nfsd: Clean up nfs4_make_rec_clidname()

[Eric Biggers]

Two cleanups for the MD5 calculation and formatting in
nfs4_make_rec_clidname().

Eric Biggers (2):
  nfsd: Replace open-coded conversion of bytes to hex
  nfsd: Eliminate an allocation in nfs4_make_rec_clidname()

[PATCH v2 1/2] nfsd: Replace open-coded conversion of bytes to hex

[Eric Biggers]

Since the Linux kernel's sprintf() has conversion to hex built-in via
"%*phN", delete md5_to_hex() and just use that.  Also add an explicit
array bound to the dname parameter of nfs4_make_rec_clidname() to make
its size clear.  No functional change.

[PATCH v2 2/2] nfsd: Eliminate an allocation in nfs4_make_rec_clidname()

[Eric Biggers]

Since MD5 digests are fixed-size, make nfs4_make_rec_clidname() store
the digest in a stack buffer instead of a dynamically allocated buffer.
Use MD5_DIGEST_SIZE instead of a hard-coded value, both in
nfs4_make_rec_clidname() and in the definition of HEXDIR_LEN.
