From b3901816545ec65b6c6d4c85a8b80605eb035c99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 12:19:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: introduce drain_entropy() helper to declutter crng_reseed() commit 246c03dd899164d0186b6d685d6387f228c28d93 upstream. In preparation for separating responsibilities, break out the entropy count management part of crng_reseed() into its own function. No functional changes.
