Subject: [PATCH v2 00/03]: khwrngd
Date: Fri, 21 Mar 2014 15:29:50 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140321142950.GI1763@lst.de> (raw)
Here is version 2 of the khwrngd patch set.
The first patch is unchanged.
The second one now introduces an initial derating factor,
as suggested by hpa. It's called derating_current to simplify
patch#3, and the thread creation has moved into hwrng_init,
because it may later depend on the hwrng's derating property.
The third patch only introduces the derating member to
struct hwrng and provides a configurable default.
I could imagine to further add a derating_extra parameter
for conservative admins, in order to diminish the entropy
estimation given from the driver author even more. OTOH
too many knobs might cause confusion.
