Oh, pull request was already sent. Should be merged shortly.
More testing, either before or after merging, would be greatly appreciated. One of the challenges is that there are a lot of systems out there with different amounts of boot entropy available. So this pull request was needed to help deal with issues on crazy big machines (CONFIG_NUMA) and crazy small laptops (old/small chromebooks repurposed to support Ubuntu and small ARM systems) --- neither of which I had access to when I was putting together the fixes to the random driver.
So any feedback before 4.17 gets released would be really helpful!
Thanks!!
I tested this upstream commit:
665fa0000aed: Merge tag 'random_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/random
... and the bug is fixed here too, my test machine is back to 'perfect'.
Thanks!
