No, it doesn't. Even if we would add SG support on the API it will need to be copied into contiguous buffers before it is sent to the HW. Is there any other in-kernel user of RSA other than the module verifier? If that's the only one I don't think we need any API changes. I can refresh the old patches that converted it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
