so I took this patch back out of bluetooth-next before sending the pull
request. I think the discussion on how to fix SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK macro needs
to complete first. Once that has concluded we can revisit if this patch is
still needed or if another solution has been found. Same as with WiFi, these
are not just one-shot calls where a memory allocation doesn’t matter. We need
this for random address resolution and thus there can be many of the aes_cmac
calls when seeing neighboring devices.
Yeah. I agree.
Based on Herbert's response to the discussion about SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/3/27/300
it seems it is feasible to fix that macro very easily. I will follow up
on this.
By the way, what is you opinion on replacing crypto_shash_descsize(ctx)
with PAGE_SIZE / 8 in SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK?
Does it work for you?
Thanks
