2009-04-25	virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacks	Christian Borntraeger	1	-2/+2
	The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

2008-05-30	virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa.	Rusty Russell	1	-0/+155
	Note that by itself, having a "hardware" random generator does very little: you should probably run "rngd" in your guest to feed this into the kernel entropy pool. Included: virtio_rng: dont use vmalloced addresses for virtio If virtio_rng is build as a module, random_data is an address in vmalloc space. As virtio expects guest real addresses, this can cause any kind of funny behaviour, so lets allocate random_data dynamically with kmalloc.
