Message-Id: <cover.1390770607.git.ydroneaud@opteya.com> Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2014 22:20:37 +0100 From: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@...eya.com> To: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@....edu> Cc: Yann Droneaud <ydroneaud@...eya.com>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Revamp randomize_range() Hi, Please find two patches to remove unused/unwanted behavor on randomize_range() function. The first one remove the last option (len) which is unused in current kernel. The second one rewrite the function to not fail, allowing to remove the error handling code from the calling functions. I've not added the maintainers of the various arch modified by the patches, wanted first to have your opinion about the changes. Regards.
