From f95dabef4c70e27e5114f4802fe6234ff82ce406 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2013 19:24:17 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: Return errors to upper levels in pseries-rng.c We don't expect to get errors from the hypervisor when reading the rng, but if we do we should pass the error up to the hwrng driver. Otherwise the hwrng driver will continue calling us forever.
