Merge branch 'prandom'
prandom fixes/improvements ==================== It would be great if you could still consider this series that fixes and improves prandom for 3.13. We have sent it to netdev as prandom() originally came from net/core/utils.c and networking is its main user. For a detailled description, please see individual patches. For patch 3 in this series, there will be a minor merge conflict with the random tree that is for 3.13. See below how to resolve it. ==== Hannes says: on merge with the random tree I would suggest to resolve the conflict in drivers/char/random.c like this: if (r->entropy_total > 128) { r->initialized = 1; r->entropy_total = 0; if (r == &nonblocking_pool) { prandom_reseed_late(); pr_notice("random: %s pool is initialized\n", r->name); } } So it won't generate a warning if DEBUG_RANDOM_BOOT gets activated. ==== Patch 1 should probably also go to -stable. Set tested on 32 and 64 bit machines. Thanks a lot! Ref. original discussion: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/289951/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
