From 5d0e5ea343a0f70351428476bcf8715e0731f26a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Stephan=20M=C3=BCller?= Date: Tue, 27 Dec 2016 23:41:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: fix comment for unused random_min_urandom_seed The variable random_min_urandom_seed is not needed any more as it defined the reseeding behavior of the nonblocking pool. Though it is not needed any more, it is left in the code for user space interface compatibility.
