Subject: [XFRM]: xfrm_algo_clone() allocates too much memory
Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2008 19:37:22 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4783C2E2.5060102@cosmosbay.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 378 bytes --]

alg_key_len is the length in bits of the key, not in bytes.

Best way to fix this is to move alg_len() function from net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c 
to include/net/xfrm.h, and to use it in xfrm_algo_clone()
