[PATCH 1/2] crypto: asymmetric_keys: set error code on failure

From: David Howells
Date: Mon Dec 12 2016 - 11:16:59 EST


From: Pan Bian <bianpan2016@xxxxxxx>

In function public_key_verify_signature(), returns variable ret on
error paths. When the call to kmalloc() fails, the value of ret is 0,
and it is not set to an errno before returning. This patch fixes the
bug.
