Subject: [PATCH akpm-next v2] random32: minor cleanups and kdoc fix
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2014 11:02:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1392285776-27949-1-git-send-email-dborkman@redhat.com> (raw)
These are just some very minor and misc cleanups in the PRNG. In
prandom_u32() we store the result in an unsigned long which is
unnecessary as it should be u32 instead that we get from
prandom_u32_state(). prandom_bytes_state()'s comment is in kdoc
format, so change it into such as it's done everywhere else.
Also, use the normal comment style for the header comment. Last
but not least for readability, add some newlines.
