[PATCH v7 3/4] random: do not throw away excess input to crng_fast_load

From: Jason A. Donenfeld
Date: Tue Dec 28 2021 - 10:39:10 EST


When crng_fast_load() is called by add_hwgenerator_randomness(), we
currently will advance to crng_init==1 if we've acquired 64 bytes, and
then throw away the rest of the buffer. This is a problem if irq
randomness creates one call to crng_fast_load(), and then
add_hwgenerator_randomness() gets called via EFI with 64 bytes. In that
case, we'll advance to crng_init==1, but won't continue onward feeding
in bytes to progress to crng_init==2. This commit fixes the issue by
feeding leftover bytes into the next phase in
add_hwgenerator_randomness().
