This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled random: remove ifdef'd out interrupt bench to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: random-remove-ifdef-d-out-interrupt-bench.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Thu Jun 16 07:08:33 PM CEST 2022 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2022 16:35:24 +0100 Subject: random: remove ifdef'd out interrupt bench From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit 95e6060c20a7f5db60163274c5222a725ac118f9 upstream. With tools like kbench9000 giving more finegrained responses, and this basically never having been used ever since it was initially added, let's just get rid of this. There *is* still work to be done on the interrupt handler, but this really isn't the way it's being developed.
