Subject: [PATCH] fault-inject: use a shared initialization helper for the random state
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 23:46:34 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112144636.840042-1-ekffu200098@gmail.com> (raw)
fault_rnd_state can be seeded from setup_fault_attr(),
fault_create_debugfs_attr() and fault_config_init(), and each of them
uses its own guard. Configuring fault injection in more than one way
leads to useless reseeding.
To prevent this, use a shared initialization helper fault_random_init()
in all three places. So fault_rnd_state is seeded only once per boot.

As discussed in [1], I didn't add any tags other than my S-o-b.
But feel free to add tags if needed :)
