whoops. I think the "-ll" means low-latency. But the only finger I have in that pie is:
--- 2.4.19-pre6/drivers/char/random.c~low-latency Fri Apr 5 12:11:17 2002 +++ 2.4.19-pre6-akpm/drivers/char/random.c Fri Apr 5 12:11:17 2002 @@ -1369,6 +1369,11 @@ static ssize_t extract_entropy(struct en buf += i; ret += i; add_timer_randomness(&extract_timer_state, nbytes); +#if LOWLATENCY_NEEDED + /* This can happen in softirq's, but that's what we want */ + if (conditional_schedule_needed()) + break; +#endif } /* Wipe data just returned from memory */ So it's a bit of a mystery. It seems to think that it has EXTRACT_ENTROPY_USER.
