[PATCH] virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio

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

 



If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address in vmalloc
space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this can cause any kind of 
funny behaviour, so lets allocate random_data dynamically with kmalloc.
