Subject: [PATCH 3/3] random: only update the last_pulled time if we actually transferred entropy
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 23:30:20 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402457420-2527-4-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1402457420-2527-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu>

In xfer_secondary_pull(), check to make sure we need to pull from the
secondary pool before checking and potentially updating the
last_pulled time.
