Re: [Y2038] [PATCH] crypto: Jitter RNG - use ktime_get_raw_ns as fallback

Hi John,

I don't see in the above an explanation of *why* you're using ktime_get_raw_ns() instead of ktime_get_ns().

Could you help me understand what the difference is or point me to some documentation? I understood that we only talked about the _raw variant.

Also the bit about time running backwards being ok is confusing since you're not using the "fast" accessor where that would be a risk.

Ok, if the running backwards hint is only applicable to the _fast variants, I can certainly drop it.

Thanks Stephan
