Some legacy code in the CIFS driver uses single DES to calculate some password hash, and uses the crypto cipher API to do so. Given that there is no point in invoking an accelerated cipher for doing 56-bit symmetric encryption on a single 8-byte block of input, the flexibility of the crypto cipher API does not add much value here, and so we're much better off using a library call into the generic C implementation.

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.
