From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andy Lutomirski Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] random: Ignore GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2) Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 00:20:47 -0800 Message-ID: <705c5a091b63cc5da70c99304bb97e0109be0a26.1577088521.git.luto@kernel.org> References: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Return-path: In-Reply-To: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Ted Ts'o Cc: LKML , Linux API , Kees Cook , "Jason A.

Start by ignoring GRND_RANDOM in getentropy(2). This should not materially break any API. Any code that worked without this change should work at least as well with this change.
