[PATCH 10/21] nvme-auth: common: use crypto library in nvme_auth_generate_psk()

Eric Biggers ebiggers at kernel.org
Sun Mar 1 23:59:48 PST 2026


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