irqs: add IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal-schedule.txt (deprecated) list
This adds IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM to the feature-removal (deprecated) list since most of the IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM users are technically bogus as entropy sources in the kernel's current entropy model. This was discussed on the lkml the past few days, which started here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/6/283 Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <rgetz@blackfin.uclinux.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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
