ok will do.

um, I am getting confused Sumit

with the exisiting implementation (the one we aim to replace), if get_optee_rng_data reads all the values requested on the first call (ie, read = 0) with wait set to true, the call will wait with msleep(0). Which is unnecessary and waits for a jiffy (ie, the call to msleep 0 will schedule a one jiffy timeout interrruptible)

with this alternative implementation, msleep(0) does not get called.

are we in synch?

Ah, I see msleep(0) also by default schedules timeout for 1 jiffy. So
we are in sync now. Probably you can clarify this in commit message as
well to avoid confusion.

I dont understand: there is no reason to wait if read == max and this
patch will not wait: if read == max it calls 'return read'

am I misunderstanding your point?

What I mean is that we shouldn't require this extra check here as
there wasn't any wait if read == max with existing implementation too.

currently, if the user sets max 0, get_optee_rng_data will regardless
issuese a call to the secure world requesting 0 bytes from the RNG

with this patch, this request is avoided.

no but I see no reason why there should be a wait since we already have
all the data that we need; the msleep is only required when we need to
wait for the RNG to generate entropy for the number of bytes we are
requesting. if we are requesting 0 bytes, the entropy is already
available. at leat this is what makes sense to me.

Wouldn't it lead to a call as msleep(0); that means no wait as well?

[PATCHv2 1/2] hwrng: optee: handle unlimited data rates

[Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 845 bytes --]

Data rates of MAX_UINT32 will schedule an unnecessary one jiffy
timeout on the call to msleep. Avoid this scenario by using 0 as the
unlimited data rate.

[PATCHv2 2/2] hwrng: optee: fix wait use case

[Jorge Ramirez-Ortiz]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1344 bytes --]

The current code waits for data to be available before attempting a
second read. However the second read would not be executed as the
while loop exits.

This fix does not wait if all data has been read and reads a second
time if only partial data was retrieved on the first read.

This fix also does not attempt to read if not data is requested.

I am not sure how this is possible, can you elaborate?

If read == max, would there be any sleep?
