Patch series " lib/base64: add generic encoder/decoder, migrate users", v5. This series introduces a generic Base64 encoder/decoder to the kernel library, eliminating duplicated implementations and delivering significant performance improvements. The Base64 API has been extended to support multiple variants (Standard, URL-safe, and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now takes a variant parameter and an option to control padding. As part of this series, users are migrated to the new interface while preserving their specific formats: fscrypt now uses BASE64_URLSAFE, Ceph uses BASE64_IMAP, and NVMe is updated to BASE64_STD. On the encoder side, the implementation processes input in 3-byte blocks, mapping 24 bits directly to 4 output symbols. This avoids bit-by-bit streaming and reduces loop overhead, achieving about a 2.7x speedup compared to previous implementations. On the decoder side, replace strchr() lookups with per-variant reverse tables and process input in 4-character groups. Each group is mapped to numeric values and combined into 3 bytes. Padded and unpadded forms are validated explicitly, rejecting invalid '=' usage and enforcing tail rules. This improves throughput by ~43-52x. This patch (of 6): Extend the base64 API to support multiple variants (standard, URL-safe, and IMAP) as defined in RFC 4648 and RFC 3501. The API now takes a variant parameter and an option to control padding. Update NVMe auth code to use the new interface with BASE64_STD.
