hwrng core uses two buffers that can be mixed in the virtio-rng queue.
This series fixes the problem by adding an internal buffer in virtio-rng.
Once the internal buffer is added, we can fix two other problems:
- to be able to release the driver without waiting the device releases the
buffer
- actually returns some data when wait=0 as we can have some already
available data
It also tries to improve the performance by always having a buffer in
the queue of the device.
Laurent Vivier (4):
hwrng: virtio - add an internal buffer
hwrng: virtio - don't wait on cleanup
hwrng: virtio - don't waste entropy
hwrng: virtio - always add a pending request

Any comment?
Do we need a v2?
Thanks,
