The RNDRESEEDCRNG ioctl was totally broken, and I sent out a patch to fix it
which was ignored for months:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20200916041908.66649-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
Reminders didn't help:
First ping: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20201007035021.GB912@sol.localdomain/
Second ping: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20201026163343.GA858@sol.localdomain/
Third ping: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/X7gQXgoXHHEr6HXC@sol.localdomain/
Fourth ping: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/X%2FNkrKpaIBTjQzbv@sol.localdomain/
Resent to Andrew Morton: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20210112192818.69921-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
Pinged Andrew: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/YBiEJ9Md60HjAWJg@sol.localdomain/
Finally *you* took the patch: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/YBwZ1a0VIdpTDNuD@kroah.com/
Here's another random.c bug fix which was ignored, this one for 6 months before
Herbert Xu finally took it through the crypto tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20210322051347.266831-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
Here's a dead code cleanup which was ignored for 6 months before being taken by
Herbert Xu through the crypto tree:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-crypto/20200916043652.96640-1-ebiggers@kernel.org/
Here's a patch to random.c which was taken by the arm64 maintainers due to being
ignored by the random.c maintainer:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201105152944.16953-1-ardb@kernel.org/
So unfortunately, as far as I can tell, Ted is not maintaining random.c anymore.
