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.

+	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.
