From 1e7e2e05c179a68aaf8830fe91547a87f4589e53 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jarod Wilson Date: Fri, 24 May 2013 15:55:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/char/random.c: fix priming of last_data Commit ec8f02da9ea5 ("random: prime last_data value per fips requirements") added priming of last_data per fips requirements. Unfortuantely, it did so in a way that can lead to multiple threads all incrementing nbytes, but only one actually doing anything with the extra data, which leads to some fun random corruption and panics. The fix is to simply do everything needed to prime last_data in a single shot, so there's no window for multiple cpus to increment nbytes -- in fact, we won't even increment or decrement nbytes anymore, we'll just extract the needed EXTRACT_SIZE one time per pool and then carry on with the normal routine. All these changes have been tested across multiple hosts and architectures where panics were previously encoutered. The code changes are are strictly limited to areas only touched when when booted in fips mode. This change should also go into 3.8-stable, to make the myriads of fips users on 3.8.x happy.
