    crypto: testmgr - Dynamically allocate xbuf and axbuf · f8b0d4d0
    Herbert Xu authored
    We currently allocate temporary memory that is used for testing
    statically.  This renders the testing engine non-reentrant. As
    algorithms may nest, i.e., one may construct another in order to
    carry out a part of its operation, this is unacceptable.  For
    example, it has been reported that an AEAD implementation allocates
    a cipher in its setkey function, which causes it to fail during
    testing as the temporary memory is overwritten.
    
    This patch replaces the static memory with dynamically allocated
    buffers.  We need a maximum of 16 pages so this slightly increases
    the chances of an algorithm failing due to memory shortage.
    However, as testing usually occurs at registration, this shouldn't
    be a big problem.
