Subject: [PATCH] ext2/3: use prandom_u32() instead of get_random_bytes()
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 10:32:41 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <530D5249.4020005@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <530D4BBB.6090600@huawei.com>

Many of the uses of get_random_bytes() do not actually need
cryptographically secure random numbers.  Replace those uses with a
call to prandom_u32(), which is faster and which doesn't consume
entropy from the /dev/random driver.

The commit dd1f723bf56bd96efc9d90e9e60dc511c79de48f has made that for
ext4, and i did the same for ext2/3.
