Subject: random: only wake up writers after zap if threshold was passed
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c169e7a09cd48a3f2ae2978e6713fd72f09f284c;p=linux.git

random: only wake up writers after zap if threshold was passed

commit a3f9e8910e1584d7725ef7d5ac870920d42d0bb4 upstream.

The only time that we need to wake up /dev/random writers on
RNDCLEARPOOL/RNDZAPPOOL is when we're changing from a value that is
greater than or equal to POOL_MIN_BITS to zero, because if we're
changing from below POOL_MIN_BITS to zero, the writers are already
unblocked.
