Subject: [PATCH 7/10] random pt2: kill dead extract_state struct
Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2005 18:49:07 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8.563253706@selenic.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <7.563253706@selenic.com>

Remove unused extract_timer_state struct. It was formerly used to
feedback zero-entropy timing samples while extracting entropy, but
that had a tendency to overwhelm the batch processing queue and
prevent storing real samples.
