Subject[PATCH 0/3] crypto: jitterentropy - bound collection loop
Date
Hi,

the sampling loop in jent_gen_entropy() can potentially run indefinitely
w/o making any forward progress, namely if only stuck samples are taken
for whatever reason.

There's a straight-forward way to make the entropy collection more robust,
namely to terminate the loop and report an error if this happens. This
patchset here implements that.

Applies to herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git master.

Thanks!

Nicolai

crypto: drbg - ignore jitterentropy errors if not in FIPS mode
crypto: jitter - don't limit ->health_failure check to FIPS mode
crypto: jitter - quit sample collection loop upon RCT failure
