Subject: [PATCH] crypto: drbg - convert to guard(mutex)
Date: Sun,  8 Feb 2026 04:59:25 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260207232925.80976-1-rajveer.chaudhari.linux@gmail.com> (raw)

Replaced old manual mutex locking/unlocking with
new safe guard(mutex) in drbg_instantiate().
This ensures mutex gets unlocked on every return and prevents deadlocks.
