linux-stable.git/include/crypto/rng.h, branch linux-4.1.y Linux kernel stable tree crypto: rng - RNGs must return 0 in success case 2015-03-09T10:06:18+00:00 Stephan Mueller smueller@chronox.de 2015-03-06T07:26:31+00:00 cde001e4c3c3625c60b68a83eb1f1c2572dee07a Change the RNGs to always return 0 in success case. This patch ensures that seqiv.c works with RNGs other than krng. seqiv expects that any return code other than 0 is an error. Without the patch, rfc4106(gcm(aes)) will not work when using a DRBG or an ANSI X9.31 RNG.

Change the RNGs to always return 0 in success case.

This patch ensures that seqiv.c works with RNGs other than krng. seqiv
expects that any return code other than 0 is an error. Without the
patch, rfc4106(gcm(aes)) will not work when using a DRBG or an ANSI
X9.31 RNG.

It is meant to be used in cases where a deterministic CPRNG is required. One of the first applications will be as an input in the IPsec IV generation process.
