The header file linux/uio.h includes crypto/hash.h which pulls in most of the Crypto API. Since linux/uio.h is used throughout the kernel this means that every tiny bit of change to the Crypto API causes the entire kernel to get rebuilt. This patch fixes this by moving it into lib/iov_iter.c instead where it is actually used. This patch also fixes the ifdef to use CRYPTO_HASH instead of just CRYPTO which does not guarantee the existence of ahash. Unfortunately a number of drivers were relying on linux/uio.h to provide access to linux/slab.h. This patch adds inclusions of linux/slab.h as detected by build failures. Also skbuff.h was relying on this to provide a declaration for ahash_request. This patch adds a forward declaration instead.

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.
