This does not look right.  You're returning zero in case of an error

Hi Herbert,

Corentin Labbe said,

For the error code, I am not sure it is needed, error code is already
given to user via crypto_finalize_hash_request().

Yes but your patch changes this.  You're now skipping the finalize
call and thus throwing away err if it's not zero.

I see. Thanks for your comment.

I agree with you and would like to modify "return 0" to "return err"
in the next version.  Even if the parent function does not care about
the return value, it is still necessary to keep the right return
value.

Corentin, how do you think?

If it's supposed to do this you need to explain it in your patch
submission.

Cheers,
