Commit ac4e97abce9b8 ("scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear
mapping") checks that both the signature and the digest reside in the
linear mapping area.

However, more recently commit ba14a194a434c ("fork: Add generic vmalloced
stack support") made it possible to move the stack in the vmalloc area,
which is not contiguous, and thus not suitable for sg_set_buf() which needs
adjacent pages.

Always make a copy of the signature and digest in the same buffer used to
store the key and its parameters, and pass them to sg_init_one(). Prefer it
to conditionally doing the copy if necessary, to keep the code simple. The
buffer allocated with kmalloc() is in the linear mapping area.

Hi David

could you please take this patch in your repo, if it is ok?
Kindly ask your support here. Has this patch been queued somewhere?
Wasn't able to find it, also it is not in linux-next.
The maintainer of asymmetric_keys (David Howells) is ignoring this patch, so
you'll need to find someone else to apply it.  Herbert Xu, the maintainer of the
crypto subsystem, might be willing to apply it.  Or maybe Jarkko Sakkinen, who
is a co-maintainer of the keyrings subsystem (but not asymmetric_keys, for some
reason; should that change?).
It is problematic that David isn't replying to this.  I have no idea
if it will work, but I just reached out to him to see if I can draw
his attention back to this ...
See my response to Eric.
Thanks Jarkko.
