From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx> commit a254a0e4093fce8c832414a83940736067eed515 upstream. Now that have_bytes is never modified, we can simplify this function. First, we move the check for negative entropy_count to be first. That ensures that subsequent reads of this will be non-negative. Then, have_bytes and ibytes can be folded into their one use site in the min_t() function.
