Subject: [PATCH 14/14] random: Remove add_interrupt_randomness
Date: Fri, 05 May 2006 11:42:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <15.420169009@selenic.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2.420169009@selenic.com>
Remove add_interrupt_randomness
This patch removes add_interrupt_randomness, which was only used by
IRQ handlers that used to set SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM.
