Subject: [GIT PULL] random number generator fixes for 6.9-rc5
Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2024 17:47:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240418154717.427109-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)

Hi Linus,

This pull has two small fixes:

- The input subsystem contributes entropy in some places where a spinlock is
  held, but the entropy accounting code only handled callers being in an
  interrupt or non-atomic process context, but not atomic process context. We
  fix this by removing an optimization and just calling queue_work()
  unconditionally.

- Greg accidently sent up a patch not intended for his tree and that had been
  nack'd, so that's now reverted.

Please pull.

Thanks,
Jason
