There is no SHASH_MAX_REQSIZE?

As for users of AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK, I see:

$ git grep AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK
arch/x86/power/hibernate_64.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, tfm);
crypto/ccm.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(ahreq, ctx->mac);
drivers/block/drbd/drbd_worker.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, tfm);
drivers/block/drbd/drbd_worker.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, tfm);
drivers/md/dm-crypt.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, essiv->hash_tfm);
drivers/net/ppp/ppp_mppe.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, state->sha1);
drivers/staging/rtl8192e/rtllib_crypt_tkip.c:
AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, tfm_michael);
drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211/ieee80211_crypt_tkip.c:
AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, tfm_michael);
net/wireless/lib80211_crypt_tkip.c: AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req,
tfm_michael);

Regardless, I'll take a closer look at these.

The other patches leading up to the REQSIZE ones, though, I think are
ready to go? They're distinct from the last two, so the first 9
patches could be applied and I'll continue to improve the two REQSIZE
ones? If that sounds okay, do you want me to resend just first 9, or
do you want to take them from this series?

Thanks!
