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 Revert "hwrng: virtio - ensure reads happen after successful probe" drivers/char/hw_random/core.c | 6 ------ drivers/char/hw_random/virtio-rng.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++--------------------- 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
