[PATCH 09/21] nvme-auth: common: use crypto library in nvme_auth_augmented_challenge()

Eric Biggers ebiggers at kernel.org
Sun Mar 1 23:59:47 PST 2026


For the hash and HMAC computations in nvme_auth_augmented_challenge(),
use the crypto library instead of crypto_shash.  This is simpler,
faster, and more reliable.  Notably, this eliminates two crypto
transformation object allocations for every call, which was very slow.
