From 3ef4cb2d65ee13d84140cbede8e1980c6ae49ffd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Thu, 12 Sep 2013 14:27:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] random: optimize spinlock use in add_device_randomness() The add_device_randomness() function calls mix_pool_bytes() twice for the input pool and the non-blocking pool, for a total of four times. By using _mix_pool_byte() and taking the spinlock in add_device_randomness(), we can halve the number of times we need take each pool's spinlock.
