[PATCH 4.9 031/159] random: clamp credited irq bits to maximum mixed

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

 



From: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e78a802a7b4febf53f2a92842f494b01062d85a8 upstream.

Since the most that's mixed into the pool is sizeof(long)*2, don't
credit more than that many bytes of entropy.

Fixes: e3e33fc2ea7f ("random: do not use input pool from hard IRQs")
