Subject[PATCH v2] KEYS: asymmetric: Fix ECDSA use via keyctl uapi
Date
When support for ECDSA keys was added, constraints for data & signature
sizes were never updated. This makes it impossible to use such keys via
keyctl API from userspace.

Update constraint on max_data_size to 64 bytes in order to support
SHA512-based signatures. Also update the signature length constraints
per ECDSA signature encoding described in RFC 5480.

Fixes: 299f561a6693 ("x509: Add support for parsing x509 certs with ECDSA keys")
Signed-off-by: Denis Kenzior <denkenz@gmail.com>

Version History:

v2: Update patch description according to Jarkko's comments. No
functional code changes.
