There's actually no need at all to be calling RDRAND in write_pool(), because before we extract from the pool, we always do so with 32 bytes of RDSEED hashed in at that stage. Xoring at this stage is needless and introduces a minor liability. Cc: Theodore Ts'o Cc: Dominik Brodowski Reviewed-by: Eric Biggers Signed-off-by: Jason A.
