Subject: [PATCH 0/12] random pt3: More core and accounting cleanups
Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 00:17:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1.64403262@selenic.com> (raw)
This is a third series of various cleanups for drivers/char/random.c.
It applies on top of the previous 10.
These bits greatly simplify the setup:
1 More meaningful pool names
2 Static allocation of pools
3 Static sysctl bits
These bits make the accounting safer and the code easier to follow:
4 Catastrophic reseed checks
5 Entropy reservation accounting
6 Reservation flag in pool struct
7 Reseed pointer in pool struct
8 Break up extract_user
These bits clean up the hashing functions:
9 Remove dead MD5 copy
10 Simplify hash folding
11 Clean up hash buffering
This bit drops a bunch of code and reduces lock hold times:
12 Remove entropy batching
The next series focuses on moving and sharing code more appropriately.
