I could not find an equivalent of skcipher_request_alloc() and skcipher_request_free(), so I ended up open-coding those. > > @@ -1565,7 +1571,7 @@ static int test_hash_vs_generic_impl(const char *driver, > > unsigned int i; > > struct hash_testvec vec = { 0 }; > > char vec_name[64]; > > - struct testvec_config cfg; > > + struct testvec_config *cfg; > > char cfgname[TESTVEC_CONFIG_NAMELEN]; > > int err; > > > > Otherwise I guess this patch is fine for now, though there's still a lot of > stuff with nontrivial size on the stack (cfgname, vec_name, _generic_driver, > hash_testvec, plus the stuff in test_hash_vec_cfg).

Right, the stack usage for the other function is still several the hundreds of bytes, but it falls under the radar of the 1024 byte warning limit. > I should probably have a go at refactoring this code to pack up most of this > stuff in *_params structures, which would then be dynamically allocated much > more easily. Makes sense. I'll leave that up to you, and will repost a set of two patches based on your suggestion for testvec_config (unchanged) and test_hash_vs_generic_impl, after build testing my current patches over night.
