Miller" Cc: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Geert Uytterhoeven Subject: [PATCH 0/5] crypto: Drop stale usages in various help texts Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:46:04 +0100 Message-ID: X-Mailer: git-send-email 2.43.0 Precedence: bulk X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org List-Id: List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi all, This patch series drops stale references to subsystems that are using various crypto algoritms. It was triggered by "make oldconfig" in v7.0-rc1 showing new prompts about BLAKE2b, SHA-256, xxHash, and CRC32c algorithms. When querying these symbols, the corresponding help texts incorrectly claim they are used by btrfs. Notw that even if correct, there is no need for such references, as all users should select the needed symbols anyway.
