[PATCH] avoid excessive use of socket buffer in skcipher

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On archs with PAGE_SIZE >= 64 KiB the function skcipher_alloc_sgl()
fails with -ENOMEM no matter what user space actually requested.
This is caused by the fact sock_kmalloc call inside the function tried
to allocate more memory than allowed by the default kernel socket buffer
size (kernel param net.core.optmem_max).
