As I mentioned previously, please make it very clear which variant of Base64 it
is (including whether padding is included and required or not), and update all
the comments accordingly. I've done so in fs/crypto/fname.c with
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210718000125.59701-1-ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx. It would
probably be best to start over with a copy of that and modify it accordingly to
implement the desired variant of Base64.
Hmm. Looking into it.
+/**

+ * @src: the base64-encoded string to decode
+ * @len: number of bytes to decode
+ * @dst: (output) the decoded bytes.
"@len: number of bytes to decode" is ambiguous as it could refer to either @src
or @dst. I've fixed this in the fs/crypto/fname.c version.
Ok, will be updating.

Shouldn't this return an error if the string is invalid? Again, see the latest
fs/crypto/fname.c version.
Indeed, it should. Will be fixing it up.

+ pad++;

strlen() shouldn't be used in a loop condition like this.
Why not?
'lookup_table' is pretty much static, so where't the problem?
Cheers,
Hannes
