Subject: [PATCH 08/15] smb: client: Use AES-CMAC library for SMB3 signature calculation
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 13:34:54 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218213501.136844-9-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260218213501.136844-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Convert smb3_calc_signature() to use the AES-CMAC library instead of a
"cmac(aes)" crypto_shash.
The result is simpler and faster code. With the library there's no need
to allocate memory, no need to handle errors except for key preparation,
and the AES-CMAC code is accessed directly without inefficient indirect
calls and other unnecessary API overhead.
For now a "cmac(aes)" crypto_shash is still being allocated in
'struct cifs_secmech'. Later commits will remove that, simplifying the
code even further.
