Subject: random: avoid initializing twice in credit race
From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>
commit fed7ef061686cc813b1f3d8d0edc6c35b4d3537b upstream.
Since all changes of crng_init now go through credit_init_bits(), we can
fix a long standing race in which two concurrent callers of
credit_init_bits() have the new bit count >= some threshold, but are
doing so with crng_init as a lower threshold, checked outside of a lock,
resulting in crng_reseed() or similar being called twice.
In order to fix this, we can use the original cmpxchg value of the bit
count, and only change crng_init when the bit count transitions from
below a threshold to meeting the threshold.
