[RFC PATCH v1 27/50] drivers/s390/scsi/zcsp_fc.c: Use prandom_u32_max() for backoff

From: George Spelvin
Date: Sat Mar 28 2020 - 12:43:33 EST


We don't need crypto-grade random numbers for randomized backoffs.

(We could skip the if() if we wanted to rely on the undocumented fact
that prandom_u32_max(0) always returns 0. That would be a net time
saving it port_scan_backoff == 0 is rare; if it's common, the if()
is false often enough to pay for itself. Not sure which applies here.)
