Subject: Re: [PATCH v6 16/18] rxrpc: Reuse SKCIPHER_REQUEST_ON_STACK buffer

Hmmm...  I'm wondering if the skcipher request should be allocated on call
initialisation and a pointer put in the rxrpc_call struct.  It's only used
serially for any particular call.

For the moment, I'll pass your patch onto DaveM.
