[PATCH 4.9 06/61] random: fix possible sleeping allocation from irq context

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

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit 6c1e851c4edc13a43adb3ea4044e3fc8f43ccf7d upstream.

We can do a sleeping allocation from an irq context when CONFIG_NUMA
is enabled.  Fix this by initializing the NUMA crng instances in a
workqueue.
