[PATCH 10/18] crypto: dh - introduce support for ephemeral key generation to dh-generic

From: Nicolai Stange
Date: Tue Nov 30 2021 - 19:50:48 EST


The support for NVME in-band authentication currently in the works ([1])
needs to generate ephemeral DH keys. Make dh-generic's ->set_secret()
to generate an ephemeral key via the recently added crypto_dh_gen_privkey()
in case the input ->key_size is zero. Note that this behaviour is in
analogy to ecdh's ->set_secret().
