From 0d79a47b4ae06bc4994b9f0d96a41cf48f6d765d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Tue, 3 May 2022 14:14:32 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] random: do not use batches when !crng_ready() commit cbe89e5a375a51bbb952929b93fa973416fea74e upstream. It's too hard to keep the batches synchronized, and pointless anyway, since in !crng_ready(), we're updating the base_crng key really often, where batching only hurts. So instead, if the crng isn't ready, just call into get_random_bytes(). At this stage nothing is performance critical anyhow. Cc: Theodore Ts'o Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.
