The shash interface supports a dynamic descsize field because of the presence of fallbacks (it's just padlock-sha actually, perhaps we can remove it one day). As it is the API does not verify the setting of descsize at all. It is up to the individual algorithms to ensure that descsize does not exceed the specified maximum value of HASH_MAX_DESCSIZE (going above would cause stack corruption). In order to allow the API to impose this limit directly, this patch adds init_tfm/exit_tfm hooks to the shash_alg structure. We can then verify the descsize setting in the API directly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
