Subject: [PATCH] Add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM Flag to forcedeth
Date: Sat, 09 Oct 2010 17:45:42 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4CB0FEA6.3030206@netscape.net> (raw)
This patch adds the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag to the forcedeth driver,
allowing the interrupt timing for forcedeth to be used for entropy
generation. This should help /dev/random generate more secure random
numbers on machines using this driver.
