From a7901acc4ac0f853d9aff284ff96e4a56ff74aa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Borkmann Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2014 12:56:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] lpfc: do not feed jiffies as random seed from lpfc driver In prandom we have already reseeding mechanisms that trigger periodically from a much better entropy source than just feeding in jiffies through lpfc_mbx_cmpl_fcf_scan_read_fcf_rec() [what a function name 8-)]. Therefore, just remove this.
