Apparently, your approach was not accepted there http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1386451 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cryptoapi/7993 > + char sdesc[sizeof(struct shash_desc) > + + crypto_shash_descsize(lmk->hash_tfm) > + + CRYPTO_MINALIGN] CRYPTO_MINALIGN_ATTR; > + struct shash_desc *desc = (struct shash_desc *)sdesc; I would like to see kenrel compilable by Clang but obfuscating the code this way is perhaps not the ideal way. Until it is accepted in crypto layer, NACK.
