On the /dev/random side, 1) Add a struct module argument in addition to func/data. 2) Grab module ref count when func/data is registered. 3) Drop module ref count after func returns. On the drbg side, 1) Allocate data pointer before func/data registration, it should contain a flag indicating whether drbg is still alive. 2) In cra_exit, zap the flag in allocated data. 3) In func immediately return if flag indicates drbg is dead. 4) Free allocated data pointer when func is done. Obviously you need to add some locking so that func doesn't race against cra_exit or any other drbg paths that it intersects.
