[PATCH] 2.4.9: let Net Devices feed Entropy (1/2)

[PATCH] 2.4.9: let Net Devices feed Entropy (1/2)

[Robert Love]

against 2.4.9. 2.4.8-ac7 patches available in previous thread.

the following patch is a rediff of my previous patch, now against 2.4.9.
for those who are new, this patch allows user configuration of whether
net devices contribute to the entropy pool (/dev/random) by introducing
a new flag for request_irq, SA_SAMPLE_NET_RANDOM. this flag is defines
to SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM or 0 depending on the value of CONFIG_NET_RANDOM
which is configurable from Net Devices.

this is part 1, which is required.  part 2 updates a handfull of devices
to use the new flag.  all net devices (drivers/net/*.c) should be
updated.

+Allow Net Devices to contribute to /dev/random
+CONFIG_NET_RANDOM
+  If you say Y here, network device interrupts will contribute to the
+  kernel entropy pool at /dev/random. Normally, block devices and
+  some other devices (keyboard, mouse) add to the pool. Some people,
+  however, feel that network devices should not contribute to /dev/random
+  because an external attacker could manipulate incoming packets in a
+  manner to force the pool into a determinable state. Note this is
+  completely theoretical.
+
+  If you don't mind the risk or are using a headless system and are in
+  need of more entropy, say Y.

[PATCH] 2.4.9: let Net Devices feed Entropy (2/2)

[Robert Love]

part 2 of 2, against 2.4.9. see previous email, old thread, or
http://tech9.net/rml/linux for more information.

this patch enables the 3c501, 3c505, 3c509, 3c523, 3c59x, 8139too,
cs89x0, eepro, eepro100, eexpress, ibmlana, ne2k-pci, pcnet_cs,
xircom_tulic_cb, sk_mca, smc9194, tulic_core, and wavelan drivers to use
the new flag. all of the drivers which previously contributed entropy
are listed above.  None of these drivers will contribute unless you
enable the configuration setting

**We need all net drivers to use the new flag.  I am accepting patches.

Let me know if there are any problems with it.

patch: let net devices feed entropy for 2.2.19

[Shane Wegner]

Hi,

In case anyone is interested, I have backported Robert
Love's netdev_random patch to the 2.2 kernel.  A patch
against 2.2.19 can be found at:
ftp://ftp.cm.nu/pub/people/shane/linux-2.2.19-netdev_random.patch.gz

Regards,
Shane

Hey, very good.  I will take a look.

If you don't mind, I will put a link to it from my kernel patches list
at http://tech9.net/rml/linux
