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.
