Subject: [PATCH resend 4.9] hw_random: Don't use a stack buffer in add_early_randomness()
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 10:06:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4169224b6858d1cf149f1a73f8a03603fa19076d.1476638125.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)

hw_random carefully avoids using a stack buffer except in
add_early_randomness().  This causes a crash in virtio_rng if
CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y.

Reported-by: Matt Mullins <mmullins@mmlx.us>
Tested-by: Matt Mullins <mmullins@mmlx.us>
Fixes: d3cc7996473a ("hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init")
Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>
---

This fixes a crash in 4.9-rc1.

resending because I typoed the git send-email command.  I stealthily added
Matt's Tested-by, too.
