It is not clear from documenting comments, specifications, or code usage what value the gss_krb5_enctype.blocksize field is supposed to store. The "encryption blocksize" depends only on the cipher being used, so that value can be derived where it's needed instead of stored as a constant. RFC 3961 Section 5.2 says: > cipher block size, c > This is the block size of the block cipher underlying the > encryption and decryption functions indicated above, used for key > derivation and for the size of the message confounder and initial > vector. (If a block cipher is not in use, some comparable > parameter should be determined.) It must be at least 5 octets. > > This is not actually an independent parameter; rather, it is a > property of the functions E and D. It is listed here to clarify > the distinction between it and the message block size, m. In the Linux kernel's implemenation of the SunRPC RPCSEC GSS Kerberos 5 mechanism, the cipher block size, which is dependent on the encryption and decryption transforms, is used only in krb5_derive_key(), so it is straightforward to replace it.

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 Restructured Text 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.
