Replaced the use of a Variable Length Array In Struct (VLAIS) with a C99
compliant equivalent. This is the original VLAIS struct.

Can this be a too large amount of stack?

Is crypto_aead_reqsize() limited to < ~1k?

Perhaps it'd be better to use kzalloc for this
or another reserved pool
No more stack being used than with the the original code. The stack memory use is identical.
