Subject: [PATCH] crypto: jitter - fix intermediary handling
Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2025 13:36:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250621113643.107745-1-theil.markus@gmail.com> (raw)

The intermediary value was included in the wrong
hash state. While there, adapt to user-space by
setting the timestamp to 0 if stuck and inserting
the values nevertheless.
