From c95ea0c69ffda19381c116db2be23c7e654dac98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 00:20:51 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] random: remove kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold It has no effect any more, so remove it. We can revert this if there is some user code that expects to be able to set this sysctl.
