Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2022 13:35:37 +0100 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux@...inikbrodowski.net Cc: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com> Subject: [PATCH 0/9] random: re-group and re-document functions We previously had massive documentation comments and functions strewn all about. This attempts to restore sanity by dividing the code into a few sections: - Initialization and readiness waiting. - Fast key erasure RNG. - Entropy accumulation and extraction. - Entropy collection. - Userspace read/write. - Sysctl. The result of this ordering and this grouping is only 2 forward declarations, indicating that this is probably a sensible grouping. Also, some documentation that was just hopelessly out of date been removed. We'll later look into re-adding parts of this to the Linux man pages project. No functional changes. Jason A. Donenfeld (9): random: introduce drain_entropy() helper to declutter crng_reseed() random: remove useless header comment random: rewrite header introductory comment random: group initialization wait functions random: group crng functions random: group entropy extraction functions random: group entropy collection functions random: group userspace read/write functions random: group sysctl functions drivers/char/random.c | 1912 ++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- include/linux/random.h | 6 +- 2 files changed, 952 insertions(+), 966 deletions(-) -- 2.35.0
