Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Replace invocation of weak PRNG inside mm/slab_common.c
Date:   Mon, 12 Dec 2022 00:16:07 +0200

From: David <david.keisarschm@mail.huji.ac.il>

We changed the invocation
 of prandom_u32_state to get_random_u32.
 We also omitted the initial seeding for the state,
 since get_random_u32 maintains its own,
 so there is no need to keep
storing the state of prandom_u32_state here.
