Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] virtio-rng: contribute to early randomness requests
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2014 17:15:48 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1405942162.git.amit.shah@redhat.com> (raw)
v2:
- update patch 3 to store the hwrng_register_done bool per-device
rather than global
- add patch 2 that re-arranges struct elems for better packing.
Hi,
This series enables virtio-rng to service the early randomness
requests made by the hwrng core (patch 3), with Herbert's idea of
using the scan routine.
Patch 4 reverts the previous restriction, which no longer applies, to
not send read requests to the host before successful probe.
Patches 1 and 2 are minor cleanups.
Please review and apply,
Amit Shah (4):
virtio: rng: remove unused struct element
virtio: rng: re-arrange struct elements for better packing
virtio: rng: delay hwrng_register() till driver is ready
