From: Andy Lutomirski Subject: [PATCH resend 4.9] hw_random: Don't use a stack buffer in add_early_randomness() Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 10:06:27 -0700 Message-ID: <4169224b6858d1cf149f1a73f8a03603fa19076d.1476638125.git.luto@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe , Matt Mullins , Andy Lutomirski To: linux-crypto@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, Matt Mackall , Herbert Xu , Rusty Russell Return-path: Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-crypto.vger.kernel.org hw_random carefully avoids using a stack buffer except in add_early_randomness(). This causes a crash in virtio_rng if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y. Reported-by: Matt Mullins Tested-by: Matt Mullins Fixes: d3cc7996473a ("hwrng: fetch randomness only after device init") Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski --- This fixes a crash in 4.9-rc1. resending because I typoed the git send-email command.
