RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
To support downstream work by the CentOS Hyperscale SIG, it would be appreciated if CONFIG_CRYPTO_BLAKE2B=m could be set in the RHEL kernel configuration.

In particular, this would help us with supporting Btrfs downstream in the CentOS Stream 9 Hyperscale variant in our kernel and working with the CentOS Kmods SIG to support it as a third-party kernel module package built by them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
5.14.0-29.el9

MR proposed: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/merge_requests/250

MR for CKI for ARK proposed: https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/1524

Just a short comment to confirm that the Kmods SIG would very much appreciate this change (hence Jonathan and myself added to CC).

Blake2b would be disabled in FIPS mode so there should be no problem.
