Subject: [PATCH v4 net-next] net: use get_random_u{16,32,64}() where appropriate
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 16:07:58 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407150758.5889-1-devnexen@gmail.com> (raw)

Use the typed random integer helpers instead of
get_random_bytes() when filling a single integer variable.
The helpers return the value directly, require no pointer
or size argument, and better express intent.

Skipped sites writing into __be16 (netdevsim) and __le64
(ceph) fields where a direct assignment would trigger
sparse endianness warnings.

Notes:
    Changes v3 -> v4:
    - Dropped net/ceph/auth_x.c site: client_challenge is __le64,
      direct assignment triggers sparse endianness warning
      (Matthieu Baerts)
    - Added Reviewed-by from Matthieu Baerts for net/mptcp changes
