Subject: [PATCH] random: Add "initialized" variable to proc
Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:52:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140428195913.E0A0143994596@oldenburg.str.redhat.com> (raw)
Before this change, you had to check kernel log messages to see if the
non-blocking pool had been properly initialized. With this change, you
can consult the file /proc/sys/kernel/random/intialized instead.
