| |
Does anyone know why rand_initialize() is called twice? chr_dev_init() in drivers/char/mem.c contains a call to rand_initialize(), and rand_initialize() itself (in drivers/char/random.c) is an __initfunc, so it is called automagically upon initialization. It seems like one of these calls is redundant. Am I wrong? --Scott @ @ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-oOO-(_)-OOo-=-=-=-=-= C.
