Subject: [PATCH v3 8/8] random: Remove kernel.random.read_wakeup_threshold
Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2019 00:20:51 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a74ed2cf0b5a5451428a246a9239f5bc4e29358f.1577088521.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1577088521.git.luto@kernel.org>

It has no effect any more, so remove it.  We can revert this if
there is some user code that expects to be able to set this sysctl.
