From 0d2f096b8785b67c38afcf6e1fbb9674af2e05ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luck, Tony" Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 10:50:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] random: Fix handing of arch_get_random_long in get_random_bytes() If there is an architecture-specific random number generator we use it to acquire randomness one "long" at a time. We should put these random words into consecutive words in the result buffer - not just overwrite the first word again and again.
