Subject: Left-over select to PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA

Hi David,

your patch "akcipher: Move the RSA DER encoding check to the crypto
layer" showed up in linux-next today as commit d43de6c780a8 (that is,
next-20160304).

It removes the CONFIG_PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA option, but does leave one
reference to it in place inside security/integrity/Kconfig, in the
definition of CONFIG_INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS.

As the corresponding option is gone, the select statement can safely be
removed. Should I prepare a simple patch for that?

I detected this by using scripts/checkkconfigsymbols on today's and
yesterday's linux-next trees (i.e., "./scripts/checkkconfigsymbols.py -d
next-20160303..next-20160304").

Best regards,

Andreas

Interesting - I didn't realise that exists. This sort of consistency check
should be run every time the Kconfig files are parsed.

Thanks,
David

Subject: [PATCH] security: integrity: Remove select to deleted option PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA

Commit d43de6c780a8 ("akcipher: Move the RSA DER encoding check to
the crypto layer") removed the Kconfig option PUBLIC_KEY_ALGO_RSA,
but forgot to remove a 'select' to this option in the definition of
INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS.

Let's remove the select, as it's ineffective now.

Applied.
