Now that the crc32() library function takes advantage of architecture-specific optimizations, it is unnecessary to go through the crypto API. Just use crc32(). This is much simpler, and it improves performance due to eliminating the crypto API overhead. (However, this only affects the TCW IV mode of dm-crypt, which is a compatibility mode that is rarely used compared to other dm-crypt modes.)

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.
