Subject: [PATCH resend] drivers/char/random.c: remove unused dont_count_entropy
Date: Thu,  1 Mar 2018 00:22:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180228232247.16368-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)

Ever since "random: kill dead extract_state struct" [1], the
dont_count_entropy member of struct timer_rand_state has been
effectively unused. Since it hasn't found a new use in 12 years, it's
probably safe to finally kill it.

[1] Pre-git, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/commit/?id=c1c48e61c251f57e7a3f1bf11b3c462b2de9dcb5
