From 15b66cd54291186011f733cc750263f320b8a0a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 16:40:18 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] hwrng: core - Fix current_rng init/cleanup race yet again 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.
