From 7f397dcdb78d699a20d96bfcfb595a2411a5bbd2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Mackall Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 21:58:10 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] random: fix seeding with zero entropy Add data from zero-entropy random_writes directly to output pools to avoid accounting difficulties on machines without entropy sources. Tested on lguest with all entropy sources disabled.
