Subject: [PATCH v2] net: ipv6: xfrm6_state: remove VLA usage
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2018 09:40:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520667645-21975-1-git-send-email-andreaschristofo@gmail.com> (raw)
The kernel would like to have all stack VLA usage removed[1].
Instead of dynamic allocation, just use XFRM_MAX_DEPTH
as already done for the "class" array, but as per feedback,
I will not drop maxclass because that changes the behavior.
In one case, it'll do this loop up to 5, the other
caller up to 6.

v2:
- use XFRM_MAX_DEPTH for "count" array (Steffen and Mathias).
