ntfs: aops: remove VLA usage
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In the quest to remove all stack VLA usage from the kernel[1], this uses
the maximum size needed on the stack and adds a sanity check for
robustness: index.block_size cannot be larger than PAGE_SIZE nor less
than NTFS_BLOCK_SIZE.
