random: add async notification support to /dev/random ...
Add async notification support to /dev/random.
A little test case is below. Without this patch, you get:
$ ./async-random
Drained the pool
Found more randomness
With it, you get:
$ ./async-random
Drained the pool
SIGIO
Found more randomness
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
static void handler(int sig)
{
printf("SIGIO\n");
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, n, err, flags;
if(signal(SIGIO, handler) < 0){
perror("setting SIGIO handler");
exit(1);
}
fd = open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY);
if(fd < 0){
perror("open");
exit(1);
}
flags = fcntl(fd, F_GETFL);
if (flags < 0){
perror("getting flags");
exit(1);
}
flags |= O_NONBLOCK;
if (fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) < 0){

exit(1);
}
while((err = read(fd, &n, sizeof(n))) > 0) ;
