Subject: [PATCH-v2 3/4] random: only update the last_pulled time if we actually transferred entropy
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 03:15:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402730118-23122-3-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1402730118-23122-1-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.
