[PATCH 17/21] nvme-auth: target: use crypto library in nvmet_auth_host_hash()
From: Eric Biggers
Date: Mon Mar 02 2026 - 03:07:12 EST
For the HMAC computation in nvmet_auth_host_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.
