From 6c1e851c4edc13a43adb3ea4044e3fc8f43ccf7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Theodore Ts'o Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 18:51:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] random: fix possible sleeping allocation from irq context We can do a sleeping allocation from an irq context when CONFIG_NUMA is enabled. Fix this by initializing the NUMA crng instances in a workqueue.
