Re: [PATCH 3/3] random: use trylock in irq handler rather than spinning

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Hi Dominik,

Yes, the decision about RT and trylocks is still undecided, and I'm
actually trying to get the existing design into as optimal shape as
possible before considering deferring it, so we can really have a
complete comparison. It was an error (my error) to introduce the full
lock here in the original patch that added this. So I've actually made
this patch into a fixup for that original one, so we don't need this
one on top.

I'll be looking at the deferred work next week, but I'd like the
existing thing to be as solid as possible before. Otherwise it's too
hard to evaluate pros and cons.

Jason
