[PATCH 1/4] backports: Add an implementation of get_random_int() for <3.10 kernels.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



get_random_int() was present, but simply not exported for use in modules
until 3.10.  Implement it in terms of the more expensive get_random_bytes()

This is needed by the cw1200 driver.
