Hi,
Please find two patches to remove unused/unwanted behavor on randomize_range() function.
The first one remove the last option (len) which is unused in current kernel. The second one rewrite the function to not fail, allowing to remove the error handling code from the calling functions.
I've not added the maintainers of the various arch modified by the patches, wanted first to have your opinion about the changes.
Regards.
Yann Droneaud (2): random: remove unused len argument in randomize_range() function random: don't return 0 in randomize_range()
