IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM is 3 years past its sell-by date in feature-removal-schedule:
What: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM Check: IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM When: July 2009 Why: Many of IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy sources in the kernel's current entropy model. To resolve this, every input point to the kernel's entropy pool needs to better document the type of entropy source it actually is. This will be replaced with additional add_*_randomness functions in drivers/char/random.c Who: Robin Getz <rg...@blackfin.uclinux.org> & Matt Mackall <m...@selenic.com> There are 12 remaining uses under drivers/ and 14 more under arch/, the rest of the hits look like infrastructure implementing it. Should I run those files through bother-maintainer.pl and try to get people to stop it, or is there a plan underway I don't know about?
