This is the combination of two fixes. First, use prandom_u32_max() for
efficiency:
- if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32() % 100)
+ if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32_max(100))
return false
And then a bug-fix:
- if (attr->probability <= prandom_u32_max(100))
+ if (attr->probability < prandom_u32_max(100))
return false
Before, probability = 1 would succeed 2% of the time and 99 would
succeed 100% of the time. (0% was caught by an earlier test.)
