2016-07-06	rxrpc: Avoid using stack memory in SG lists in rxkad	Herbert Xu	1	-3/+4
	rxkad uses stack memory in SG lists which would not work if stacks were allocated from vmalloc memory. In fact, in most cases this isn't even necessary as the stack memory ends up getting copied over to kmalloc memory. This patch eliminates all the unnecessary stack memory uses by supplying the final destination directly to the crypto API. In two instances where a temporary buffer is actually needed we also switch use a scratch area in the rxrpc_call struct (only one DATA packet will be being secured or verified at a time). Finally there is no need to split a split-page buffer into two SG entries so code dealing with that has been removed.

2016-04-11	rxrpc: Create a null security type and get rid of conditional calls	David Howells	1	-0/+83
	Create a null security type for security index 0 and get rid of all conditional calls to the security operations. We expect normally to be using security, so this should be of little negative impact. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
