[PATCH RESEND] random: fix the RNDRESEEDCRNG ioctl

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

 



From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx>

The RNDRESEEDCRNG ioctl reseeds the primary_crng from itself, which
doesn't make sense.  Reseed it from the input_pool instead.
