Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 25/25] crypto: ansi_cprng - If non-deterministic, don't buffer old output
Date: 7 Dec 2014 17:49:59 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141207224959.25453.qmail@ns.horizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6f29805d8bbde1af112d48201d5fde9a7776027f.1417951990.git.linux@horizon.com>
By the way, this patch includes a bug due to a last minute "oh, I can
make that more efficient!" which I realized after a night's sleep.
(The v1 patch worked, FWIW.)
Anyway, it's an RFC; I'm not even sure if I want this personally,
but it's a bit of extra paranoia to always genreate fresh seed per
read.
