The kthread_run() function can return two different error values but the hwrng core only checks for -ENOMEM. If the other error value -EINTR is returned it is assigned to hwrng_fill and later used on a kthread_stop() call which naturally crashes.

Use the new group field of struct miscdevice for managing the sysfs entries instead of manually adding/removing via device_create_file() and device_remove_file(). This simplifies the code a lot and fixes the possible races. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Hardware random number quality is measured from 0 (no entropy) to 1024 (perfect entropy). Allow hardware devices to assert the full range by truncating the device-provided value at 1024 instead of 1023.

This change adds devm_hwrng_register and devm_hwrng_unregister which use can simplify error unwinding and unbinding code paths in device drivers. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
We always do hwrng_init in set_current_rng. In fact, our current reference count system relies on this. So make this explicit by moving hwrng_init into set_current_rng. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Rather than having callers of set_current_rng call drop_current_rng, we can do it directly in set_current_rng. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
Currently we only register the device when a valid RNG is added. However the way it's done is buggy because we test whether there is a current RNG to determine whether we need to register. As the current RNG may be missing due to a reinitialisation error this can lead to a reregistration of the device. As the device already has to handle a NULL current RNG anyway, let's just register the device always and remove the complexity. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
The kref solution is still buggy because we were only focusing on the register/unregister race. The same race affects the setting of current_rng through sysfs. This patch fixes it by using kref_get_unless_zero. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
There is no point in doing a manual completion for cleanup_done when struct completion fits in perfectly. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
