From b3d0f7895d1251f0af0dd38410e7be3e52be4a1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 23:00:05 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net/neighbor: use get_random_u32 for 32-bit hash random Using get_random_u32 here is faster, more fitting of the use case, and just as cryptographically secure. It also has the benefit of providing better randomness at early boot, which is when many of these structures are assigned. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
