Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 09/10] X.509: Move certificate length retrieval into new helper
Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:31:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260312080129.3483585-10-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260312080129.3483585-1-aneesh.kumar@kernel.org>

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de>

The upcoming in-kernel SPDM library (Security Protocol and Data Model,
https://www.dmtf.org/dsp/DSP0274) needs to retrieve the length from
ASN.1 DER-encoded X.509 certificates.

Such code already exists in x509_load_certificate_list(), so move it
into a new helper for reuse by SPDM.

Export the helper so that SPDM can be tristate.  (Some upcoming users of
the SPDM libray may be modular, such as SCSI and ATA.)

No functional change intended.
