Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com> Subject: [PATCH 5.4 055/240] random: remove unused OUTPUT_POOL constants From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com> commit 0f63702718c91d89c922081ac1e6baeddc2d8b1a upstream. We no longer have an output pool. Rather, we have just a wakeup bits threshold for /dev/random reads, presumably so that processes don't hang. This value, random_write_wakeup_bits, is configurable anyway. So all the no longer usefully named OUTPUT_POOL constants were doing was setting a reasonable default for random_write_wakeup_bits. This commit gets rid of the constants and just puts it all in the default value of random_write_wakeup_bits. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@...inikbrodowski.net> Signed-off-by: Jason A.
