Could you elaborate on why the proposed RFC is not inline with your
plan? We need to let user space
know that it needs to reseed its PRNGs. It is not very clear to me, how
does that interplay with having a
getrandom vDSO.
IOW, say we did have a vDSO getrandom, don't you think we should have
such an API to notify when it
needs to discard stale state, or do you think this is not the right API?
And honestly the constant pushing from you has in part been
demotivating.
Cheers,
Babis
