From 042e293e16e3aa9794ce60c29f5b7b0c8170f933 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2022 23:44:03 +0100 Subject: random: wake up /dev/random writers after zap When account() is called, and the amount of entropy dips below random_write_wakeup_bits, we wake up the random writers, so that they can write some more in. However, the RNDZAPENTCNT/RNDCLEARPOOL ioctl sets the entropy count to zero -- a potential reduction just like account() -- but does not unblock writers. This commit adds the missing logic to that ioctl to unblock waiting writers. Reviewed-by: Dominik Brodowski Signed-off-by: Jason A.
