The "hash function" in hctr2 is fixed at POLYVAL; it can never vary. Just use the POLYVAL library, which is much easier to use than the crypto_shash API. It's faster, uses fixed-size structs, and never fails (all the functions return void). Note that this eliminates the only known user of the polyval support in crypto_shash. A later commit will remove support for polyval from crypto_shash, given that the library API is sufficient.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
