Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] integrity: Refactor asymmetric_verify for reusability
Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 11:40:38 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260416154039.1648083-4-stefanb@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260416154039.1648083-1-stefanb@linux.ibm.com>

Refactor asymmetric_verify for reusability. Have it call
asymmetric_verify_common with the signature verification key and the
public_key structure as parameters. sigv3 support for ML-DSA will need to
check the public key type first to decide how to do the signature
verification and therefore will have these parameters available for
calling asymmetric_verify_common.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Berger <stefanb@linux.ibm.com>

 v3:
   - added kernel-doc
   - NULL pointer check on asymmetric_key_public_key return value
