Subject: [PATCH 4.16 006/113] random: set up the NUMA crng instances after the CRNG is fully initialized

4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu>

commit 8ef35c866f8862df074a49a93b0309725812dea8 upstream.

Until the primary_crng is fully initialized, don't initialize the NUMA
crng nodes.  Otherwise users of /dev/urandom on NUMA systems before
the CRNG is fully initialized can get very bad quality randomness.  Of
course everyone should move to getrandom(2) where this won't be an
issue, but there's a lot of legacy code out there.  This related to
CVE-2018-1108.

Reported-by: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>
Fixes: 1e7f583af67b ("random: make /dev/urandom scalable for silly...")
