Are you referring to sig.digest here? It looks like you will hit a BUG_ON() in public_key_verify_signature() if sig.digest is 0. However, sig.digest is unlikely to be 0 because the struct is not cleared - should fix this, since public_key_verify_signature() will try to follow that random pointer.

+       sig.hash_algo = "sha1";
+       sig.digest_size = 20;
+       sig.s_size = req->src_len;
+       sig.s = src;
+       ret = verify_signature(key, NULL, &sig);

Is the idea to write the signature to the socket, and then read out the expected digest (the digest comparison being done elsewhere)? Is that something that will be supported by a future hardware asymmetric key subtype?

verify_signature() ends up calling public_key_verify_signature(), which currently expects to get both the digest and signature as input and returns an error if verification fails. The output of crypto_akcipher_verify() is discarded before public_key_verify_signature() returns so nothing ends up in req->dst to read from the socket.

ALG_OP_VERIFY should behave the same whether using ALG_SET_PUBKEY or ALG_SET_PUBKEY_ID, and they aren't right now.

If sig.digest is 0, verify_signature() could return the expected digest in the sig structure and skip the digest comparison it currently does. Then that data could be packaged up in req as if crypto_akcipher_verify() had been called. I don't know if this change confuses the semantics of verify_signature() too much, maybe a new function is required with all the requisite plumbing to the asymmetric key subtype.
