[PATCH 2/6] hw_random: read() callback must be called for size of 32 or more bytes

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

 



According to <linux/hw_random.h>, the @max parameter of the ->read
callback "is a multiple of 4 and >= 32 bytes". That promise was not
kept by add_early_randomness(), which only asked for 16 bytes. As
rng_buffer_size() is at least 32, we can simply ask for 32 bytes.
