David Howells 8c2f826dc3 rxrpc: Don't put crypto buffers on the stack
Don't put buffers of data to be handed to crypto on the stack as this may
cause an assertion failure in the kernel (see below).  Fix this by using an
kmalloc'd buffer instead.

kernel BUG at ./include/linux/scatterlist.h:147!

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
