[PATCH 5.4 084/240] random: fix locking for crng_init in crng_reseed()

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

 



From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 7191c628fe07b70d3f37de736d173d1b115396ed upstream.

crng_init is protected by primary_crng->lock. Therefore, we need
to hold this lock when increasing crng_init to 2. As we shouldn't
hold this lock for too long, only hold it for those parts which
require protection.
