Alright. That's actually getting us somewhere. So the path in question here is from reading /dev/hwrng, not from the kthread that's doing the same read. Can you do a `cat /dev/hwrng > /dev/null`, and then do whatever it is you do that causes everything to hang, and then while things are hung in the bad way, look at the contents of /proc/[the pid of the cat you just ran]/stack?
