Hi,

I'm trying to do RSA verification inside a LKM. It seems that the linux
crypto API does not support this. Today I found cryptodev which
presumable can do this.

The setting is that a user land app will pass the public key to there
kernel module (OT: via a new syscall), which will then verify something
with it.

Compile of the tests worked find and I can use the stand-alone module. I
read that there is the need to patch the kernel in order to be able to
use the device from a LKM. Where can I find this patch?

Maybe there is even another way to do this.

Cheers,
André
