[PATCH 0/3] random: Replace kernel blocking API with callback API

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

 



Hi:

This series replaces the blocking API for random pool readiness
with a callback API.  The reason is that the random pool may not
become ready for quite some time so we cannot really wait for it
in a kernel thread as we quickly run into the 2-minute time limit
for detecting lockups.

Cheers,
