Add a new helper ACOMP_REQUEST_CLONE that will transform a stack
request into a dynamically allocated one if possible, and otherwise
switch it over to the sycnrhonous fallback transform. The intended
usage is:
ACOMP_STACK_ON_REQUEST(req, tfm);
...
err = crypto_acomp_compress(req);
/* The request cannot complete synchronously. */
if (err == -EAGAIN) {
/* This will not fail. */
req = ACOMP_REQUEST_CLONE(req, gfp);
/* Redo operation. */
err = crypto_acomp_compress(req);
}

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
