[PATCH] crypto/ecc: Remove stack VLA usage

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

 



On the quest to remove all VLAs from the kernel[1], this switches to
a pair of kmalloc regions instead of using the stack. This also moves
the get_random_bytes() after all allocations (and drops the needless
"nbytes" variable).
