Subject: [PATCH 38/38] crypto: drbg - Clean up loop in drbg_hmac_update()
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:34:22 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420063422.324906-39-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260420063422.324906-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

This loop is a bit hard to read, with the loop counter that's used in
the HMAC being separate from the actual loop counter, which counts
backwards for some reason.  Just replace it with a regular loop.
