From 2c60d7f38d640e5d01553218eaf4163a1089e6e2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2022 18:25:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: do crng pre-init loading in worker rather than irq commit c2a7de4feb6e09f23af7accc0f882a8fa92e7ae5 upstream. Taking spinlocks from IRQ context is generally problematic for PREEMPT_RT. That is, in part, why we take trylocks instead. However, a spin_try_lock() is also problematic since another spin_lock() invocation can potentially PI-boost the wrong task, as the spin_try_lock() is invoked from an IRQ-context, so the task on CPU (random task or idle) is not the actual owner. Additionally, by deferring the crng pre-init loading to the worker, we can use the cryptographic hash function rather than xor, which is perhaps a meaningful difference when considering this data has only been through the relatively weak fast_mix() function. The biggest downside of this approach is that the pre-init loading is now deferred until later, which means things that need random numbers after interrupts are enabled, but before workqueues are running -- or before this particular worker manages to run -- are going to get into trouble. Hopefully in the real world, this window is rather small, especially since this code won't run until 64 interrupts had occurred.
