With the new (in 4.9) option to use a virtually-mapped stack
(CONFIG_VMAP_STACK), stack buffers cannot be used as input/output for
the scatterlist crypto API because they may not be directly mappable to
struct page.  get_crypt_info() was using a stack buffer to hold the
output from the encryption operation used to derive the per-file key.
Fix it by using a heap buffer.

This bug could most easily be observed in a CONFIG_DEBUG_SG kernel
because this allowed the BUG in sg_set_buf() to be triggered.

See 1/2. :-)

This commit is on the fscrypt and dev branches on ext4.git.

Hi Ted,

Would it make any sense to send these two patches to Linus for v4.9-rc6, given
that they fix bugs introduced in 4.9 with the virtually-mapped stack feature?
Or would you prefer to wait and have them go to 4.9 via stable?
Note that CONFIG_VMAP_STACK defaults to y on x86_64.

Thanks,

Eric
