[PATCH 1/7] zfcp: use prandom_u32_max() for backoff

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

 



From: George Spelvin <lkml@xxxxxxx>

We don't need crypto-grade random numbers for randomized backoffs.
Instead use prandom_u32_max(ep_ro) which generates a pseudo-random
number uniformly distributed in the interval [0, ep_ro).
