[PATCH 5.4 059/240] random: access input_pool_data directly rather than through pointer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jun 20 2022 - 09:37:49 EST


From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 6c0eace6e1499712583b6ee62d95161e8b3449f5 upstream.

This gets rid of another abstraction we no longer need. It would be nice
if we could instead make pool an array rather than a pointer, but the
latent entropy plugin won't be able to do its magic in that case. So
instead we put all accesses to the input pool's actual data through the
input_pool_data array directly.
