[PATCH 0/3] crypto: jitterentropy - bound collection loop

[Nicolai Stange <nstange@suse.de>]

Hi,

the sampling loop in jent_gen_entropy() can potentially run indefinitely
w/o making any forward progress, namely if only stuck samples are taken
for whatever reason.

There's a straight-forward way to make the entropy collection more robust,
namely to terminate the loop and report an error if this happens. This
patchset here implements that.

Applies to herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git master.

Thanks!

Nicolai

  crypto: drbg - ignore jitterentropy errors if not in FIPS mode
  crypto: jitter - don't limit ->health_failure check to FIPS mode
  crypto: jitter - quit sample collection loop upon RCT failure
