[v1] random: clamp credited irq bits to maximum mixed

[PATCH] random: clamp credited irq bits to maximum mixed

Posted by Jason A. Donenfeld 1 year, 7 months ago

Since the most that's mixed into the pool is sizeof(long)*2, don't
credit more than that many bytes of entropy.

Fixes: e3e33fc2ea7f ("random: do not use input pool from hard IRQs")
