Some sync algorithms may require a large amount of temporary space during its operations. There is no reason why they should be limited just because some legacy users want to place all temporary data on the stack. Such algorithms can now set a flag to indicate that they need extra request context, which will cause them to be invisible to users that go through the sync_skcipher interface.

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.
