Subject: [PATCH] random: clear new batches when bringing new CPUs online
Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2022 12:58:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221005105859.10203-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
The commit that added the new get_random_{u8,u16}() functions neglected
to update the code that clears the batches when bringing up a new CPU,
as well as the various comments.
Fixes: 585cd5fe9f73 ("random: add 8-bit and 16-bit batches")
