From: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 22:39:57 +0000 (-0800) Subject: swapfile: let others seed random X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc1~424 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0d7a4b3ed46816f5097d521850a8ab7a0d40f3c;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git swapfile: let others seed random Remove the srandom32((u32)get_seconds()) from non-rotational swapon: there's been a coincidental discussion of earlier randomization, assume that goes ahead, let swapon be a client rather than stirring for itself.
