Then we have to make it smaller. The whole point of this is to stop the user from allocating too much kernel memory, and if you are allocating too much memory to start with... So instead of allocating RSGL_MAX_ENTRIES you should turn it into a linked list like algif_skcipher and then allocate it on demand using sock_kmalloc.
