Subject: [PATCH 2/4] crypto: af_alg - Allow arbitrarily long algorithm names

From: Herbert Xu <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:16:09 +0800

This patch removes the hard-coded 64-byte limit on the length
of the algorithm name through bind(2).  The address length can
now exceed that.  The user-space structure remains unchanged.
In order to use a longer name simply extend the salg_name array
beyond its defined 64 bytes length.
