On a plane today I started converting all these to shash. IIUC, it
just looks like this (apologies for whitespace damage):
static int crypt_iv_essiv_init(struct crypt_config *cc)
{
struct iv_essiv_private *essiv = &cc->iv_gen_private.essiv;
- AHASH_REQUEST_ON_STACK(req, essiv->hash_tfm);
- struct scatterlist sg;
+ SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK(desc, essiv->hash_tfm);
struct crypto_cipher *essiv_tfm;
int err;
- sg_init_one(&sg, cc->key, cc->key_size);
- ahash_request_set_tfm(req, essiv->hash_tfm);
- ahash_request_set_callback(req, CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP, NULL, NULL);
- ahash_request_set_crypt(req, &sg, essiv->salt, cc->key_size);
+ desc->tfm = essiv->hash_tfm;
+ desc->flags = CRYPTO_TFM_REQ_MAY_SLEEP;
- err = crypto_ahash_digest(req);
- ahash_request_zero(req);
+ err = crypto_shash_digest(desc, key, cc->key_size, essiv->salt);
+ shash_desc_zero(desc);
if (err)
return err;
(I left out all the s/ahash/shash/ in types and function declarations.)
Does this look like what you were thinking of for converting these
away from ahash? The only one I couldn't make sense of was in
drivers/crypto/inside-secure/safexcel_hash.c. I have no idea what's
happening there.
