[RFC PATCH v1 41/50] drivers/block/drbd/drbd_nl.c: Use get_random_u64()
From: George Spelvin
Date: Sat Mar 28 2020 - 12:46:24 EST
There's no need to get_random_bytes() into a temporary buffer.
This is not a no-brainer change; get_random_u64() has slightly
weaker security guarantees, but they're fine for applications
like these where the random value is stored in the kernel for
as long as it's valuable.
