Subject: [PATCH 7/12] random pt3: Reseed pointer in pool struct
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:17:22 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8.64403262@selenic.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7.64403262@selenic.com>

Put pointer to reseed pool in pool struct and automatically pull
entropy from it if it is set. This lets us remove the
EXTRACT_SECONDARY flag.
