From a84cd29335f4ca38ca8405c1636ee3876bb292b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam Lang Date: Tue, 9 Apr 2013 16:49:11 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ceph: Use pseudo-random numbers to choose mds We don't need to use up entropy to choose an mds, so use prandom_u32() to get a pseudo-random number. Also, we don't need to choose a random mds if only one mds is available, so add special casing for the common case.
