Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: virtio - unregister device before reset
Date: Thu, 25 Nov 2021 13:04:11 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211125180343.134505-1-mst@redhat.com> (raw)

unregister after reset is clearly wrong - device
can be used while it's reset. There's an attempt to
protect against that using hwrng_removed but it
seems racy since access can be in progress
when the flag is set.

Just unregister, then reset seems simpler and cleaner.
NB: we might be able to drop hwrng_removed in a follow-up patch.

NB: lightly tested. Don't know much about rng. Any reviewers?
