Umm...  What do I apply this patch to?

In your modified public_key_verify_signature():

> -     sg_init_one(&digest_sg, output, outlen);
> -     akcipher_request_set_crypt(req, &sig_sg, &digest_sg, sig->s_size,
> +     sg_init_one(&output_sg, output, outlen);
> +     akcipher_request_set_crypt(req, &sig_sg, &output_sg, sig->s_size,
>                                  outlen);

Why is the output necessary?  It was there for the decoded hash to be placed
in prior to comparison - but now that's not necessary.

> +     ret = crypto_wait_req(crypto_akcipher_verify(req, sig->digest,

I see sig->digest is passed in here.  Should it be passed in in place of
output_sg above?

> +     inst->alg.verify_rsa = pkcs1pad_verify;

Is there a reason that pkcs1pad_verify() can't do the comparison?

Likewise verify_rsa()?

Granted, this might involve pkcs1pad_verify() dressing up the signature in the
appropriate wrappings and passing it along to verify_rsa() to do the actual
comparison there (ie. what pkcs1pad_verify_complete() does).

I presume this is the reason - because this reuses its encrypt operation
directly.  But could this instead perform the comparison upon completion, say
in rsa_pub_done()?

> -     .verify = qat_rsa_enc,
> +     .verify_rsa = qat_rsa_enc,

Again, this could do the comparison, say, in qat_rsa_cb().
