Subject: [GIT PULL] random number generator updates for 6.19-rc1
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 03:40:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201024020.419612-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Please pull the following small set of updates to the random number generator:
- Dynamically allocate cpumasks off of the stack, potentially, if the kernel is
configured for a lot of CPUs, to handle a -Wframe-larger-than case.
- The removal of next_pseudo_random32() after the last user was switched over
to the prandom interface.
- The removal of get_random_u{8,16,32,64}_wait() functions, as there were no
users of those at all.
- Some house keeping changes - a few grammar cleanups in the comments,
system_unbound_wq was renamed to system_dfl_wq, and static_key_initialized no
longer needs to be checked.
These have been sitting in my tree for a while and haven't surface any issues.
Thanks,
Jason
