commit 9c3ddde3f811aabbb83778a2a615bf141b4909ef upstream. If the bootloader supplies sufficient material and crng_reseed() is called very early on, but not too early that wqs aren't available yet, then we might transition to crng_init==2 before rand_initialize()'s call to crng_initialize_primary() made. Then, when crng_initialize_primary() is called, if we're trusting the CPU's RDRAND instructions, we'll needlessly reinitialize the RNG and emit a message about it. This is mostly harmless, as numa_crng_init() will allocate and then free what it just allocated, and excessive calls to invalidate_batched_entropy() aren't so harmful. But it is funky and the extra message is confusing, so avoid the re-initialization all together by checking for crng_init < 2 in crng_initialize_primary(), just as we already do in crng_reseed().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
