Package: jitterentropy-rngd Version: 1.2.1-1 Severity: grave Tags: patch upstream Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, starting on some version of kernel 5.11, jitterentropy-rngd starts sucking entropy rather than providing it, leading to more efforts in providing entropy, leading to 1 CPU being hogged up with permanent 100% utilization. The Mobian derivative suffers from this, so we would appreciate if a fix could still enter bullsyeye. This has been reported upstream, e.g. https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-rngd/issues/20 https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-rngd/issues/19 Upstream author has provided a fix which we have tested on the pinephone and which indeed fixes the problem. The commit fixing this is: https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-rngd/commit/9227212bc50d2bfcd4ae782d068f7030a1a7cb88 I have forked the debian packaging repo, added the patch and successfully build a new package. The MR is at: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/jitterentropy-rngd/-/merge_requests/2 The only change I am not sure is the added entry in d/changelog, otherwise this is "just" adding the patch. Feel free to override the changelog modifications. This is a grave bug once it occurs as it continually hogs up one CPU with 100%. Thanks for considering the fix. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages jitterentropy-rngd depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.60 ii libc6 2.31-9 jitterentropy-rngd recommends no packages. jitterentropy-rngd suggests no packages.
