--------------------------------
[ Upstream commit bc155c6c188c2f0c5749993b1405673d25a80389 ]
Changes from v1: * removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key
Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.
Commit 78a0324f4a53 ("crypto: akcipher - default implementations for request callbacks") introduced default callbacks for sign/verify operations, which just return an error code.
However, these are not enough, because before calling sign the caller would likely call set_priv_key first on the instantiated transform (as the in-kernel testmgr does). This function does not have a default stub, so the kernel crashes, when trying to set a private key on an akcipher, which doesn't support signature generation.
I've noticed this, when trying to add a KAT vector for ECDSA signature to the testmgr.
With this patch the testmgr returns an error in dmesg (as it should) instead of crashing the kernel NULL ptr dereference.
