From a58aa4edc6d2e779894b1fa95a2f4de157ff3b3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Price Date: Fri, 29 Nov 2013 20:09:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] random: forget lock in lockless accounting The only mutable data accessed here is ->entropy_count, but since 10b3a32d2 ("random: fix accounting race condition") we use cmpxchg to protect our accesses to ->entropy_count here. Drop the use of the lock. Cc: Jiri Kosina Signed-off-by: Greg Price Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" --- Reading git-format-patch failed
