Currently all the checksum algorithms generate a fixed size digest size and we use it. The on-disk format can hold up to BTRFS_CSUM_SIZE bytes and BLAKE2b produces digest of 512 bits by default. We can't do that and will use the blake2b-256, this needs to be passed to the crypto API. Separate that from the base algorithm name and add a member to request specific driver, in this case with the digest size. The only place that uses the driver name is the crypto API setup.

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 Restructured Text 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.
