locking in prng

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

 



Hi,

I am preparing some improvements for the exynos-rng PRNG driver. It is a
driver for hardware PRNG in Exynos SoCs. The hardware should not be
access simultaneously by more than one thread/processe or it may return
the same data to all of them.

Are there any locks betweend kernel consumers or userspace and the
driver or should the driver has its own lock to serialize hardware
access?

Kind regards,
