Subject: [GIT PULL] random number generator fixes for 5.18-rc5
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2022 16:59:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220429145935.2549453-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)

Hi Linus,

Please pull the following two sets of fixes for 5.18-rc5:

- Eric noticed that the memmove() in crng_fast_key_erasure() was bogus, so
  this has been changed to a memcpy() and the confusing situation clarified
  with a detailed comment.

- [Half]SipHash documentation updates from Bagas and Eric, after Eric pointed
  out that the use of HalfSipHash in random.c made a bit of the text
  potentially misleading.

That's it since the push I sent you in rc3 -- really very small -- so
hopefully things are done for 5.18.

Thanks,
Jason
