Subject: [PATCH] random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
Date: Mon, 15 Jul 2024 04:54:15 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240715025415.910243-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)
RNDGETPOOL was thankfully removed twenty years ago, but it's stuck
around in headers. Probably removing it from uapi headers isn't great in
case there are some weird users out there, but we should at least mark
this as having been removed.
