Subject: [PATCH 03/11] crypto: ecc - Use crypto_stdrng_get_bytes()
Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 17:14:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326001507.66500-4-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260326001507.66500-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
Replace the sequence of crypto_get_default_rng(),
crypto_rng_get_bytes(), and crypto_put_default_rng() with the equivalent
helper function crypto_stdrng_get_bytes().
