[PATCH 18/21] nvme-auth: target: use crypto library in nvmet_auth_ctrl_hash()

Sun Mar 1 23:59:56 PST 2026


For the HMAC computation in nvmet_auth_ctrl_hash(), 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.
