Subject: [PATCH 0/3] random: Replace kernel blocking API with callback API
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2015 18:18:30 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150609101830.GA10521@gondor.apana.org.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150609064955.GA8794@gondor.apana.org.au>
Hi:
This series replaces the blocking API for random pool readiness
with a callback API. The reason is that the random pool may not
become ready for quite some time so we cannot really wait for it
in a kernel thread as we quickly run into the 2-minute time limit
for detecting lockups.
Cheers,
