This is just wrong. You should fail the allocation altogether
rather than proceeding with a length that is insufficient.
However, reqsize shouldn't be anywhere near overflowing in the
first place. If you're truly worried about this, you should
change the algorithm registration code to check whether reqsize
is sane.
And that needs to wait until the algorithms are fixed to not use
dynamic reqsizes.
Got it, thanks for your explanation.
This patch (v1 and v2) is wrong. Sorry for the noise again.
