Subject: Re: [PATCH, RFC 03/12] random: Allow fractional bits to be tracked
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:01:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130923040148.GG7321@thunk.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1379882338-7209-4-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu>
I've added the following changes to this patch since upon testing,
there were some uses of r->entropy_count that were not properly
converted from using fractional bits to bits.
