Subject: [PATCH 4.4 32/38] hwrng: core - Dont use a stack buffer in add_early_randomness()
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2016 11:33:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161117103237.849337533@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161117103236.423602981@linuxfoundation.org>
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Andrew Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
commit 6d4952d9d9d4dc2bb9c0255d95a09405a1e958f7 upstream.
hw_random carefully avoids using a stack buffer except in
add_early_randomness(). This causes a crash in virtio_rng if
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.
Reported-by: Matt Mullins <mmullins@mmlx.us>

Fixes: d3cc7996473a ("hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init")
