Subject[PATCH 3/3] NTFS: mft: Remove VLA usage
Date
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this
allocates the maximum size stack buffer. Existing checks already require
that blocksize >= NTFS_BLOCK_SIZE and mft_record_size <= PAGE_SIZE, so
max_bhs can be at most PAGE_SIZE / NTFS_BLOCK_SIZE. Sanity checks are
added for robustness.
