Hello David
We could use the nanosec resolution for various functions defined in
drivers/char/random.c
(secure_tcpv6_sequence_number(), secure_tcp_sequence_number(),
secure_dccp_sequence_number())
I am not sure if it's a netdev related patch or core kernel, so I have CC
Andrew.
Thank you
[PATCH] NET : random functions can use nsec resolution instead of usec
In order to get more randomness for secure_tcpv6_sequence_number(),
secure_tcp_sequence_number(), secure_dccp_sequence_number() functions, we can
use the high resolution time services, providing nanosec resolution.
I've also done two kmalloc()/kzalloc() conversions.
