From 4533ed41f0afffa36413ce4f04cc4413e215b321 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 10:07:08 +1030 Subject: [PATCH] hw_random: make buffer usable in scatterlist. commit f7f154f1246ccc5a0a7e9ce50932627d60a0c878 upstream. virtio_rng feeds the randomness buffer handed by the core directly into the scatterlist, since commit bb347d98079a547e80bd4722dee1de61e4dca0e8. However, if CONFIG_HW_RANDOM=m, the static buffer isn't a linear address (at least on most archs). We could fix this in virtio_rng, but it's actually far easier to just do it in the core as virtio_rng would have to allocate a buffer every time (it doesn't know how much the core will want to read).
