Messages in this thread |  | | From | Akinobu Mita <> | Subject | [PATCH v2 00/11] introduce random32_get_bytes() and random32_get_bytes_state() | Date | Sun, 4 Nov 2012 00:43:31 +0900 |
| |
This patchset introduces new functions into random32 library for getting the requested number of pseudo-random bytes.
Before introducing these new functions into random32 library, prandom32() and prandom32_seed() with "prandom32" prefix are renamed to random32_state() and srandom32_state() respectively.
The purpose of this renaming is to prevent some kernel developers from assuming that prandom32() and random32() might imply that only prandom32() was the one using a pseudo-random number generator by prandom32's "p", and the result may be a very embarassing security exposure.
Changelog
* v2 - rename prandom32 to random32_state - dropped lib/uuid.c patch - add bnx2 and mtd_stresstest patches
