    Subject[PATCH 6/8] random: fix comment for unused random_min_urandom_seed
    Date
    The variable random_min_urandom_seed is not needed any more as it
    defined the reseeding behavior of the nonblocking pool. Though it is not
    needed any more, it is left in the code for user space interface
    compatibility.
