Subject: [PATCH 01/12] netfilter: avoid get_random_bytes calls
Date: Mon,  6 Jan 2014 00:09:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1388963378-4903-2-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1388963378-4903-1-git-send-email-pablo@netfilter.org>

From: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>

All these users need an initial seed value for jhash, prandom is
perfectly fine.  This avoids draining the entropy pool where
its not strictly required.

nfnetlink_log did not use the random value at all.
