I think it's best if we leave this out for now, unless we can
come up with some way of

Change notes:
Changed rng_rcvmsg to allocate a fixed size maximum temp block to store rng data
when recvmsg is called. This should prevent malicious DoS from user space by
tring to receive obscene amounts of random data in one call. Instead now we
loop using the same block of data and copy it inc

This patch enhances the AF_ALG protocol family to include support for random
number generator algorithms. With this enhancment, users of the AF_ALG protocol
can now bind sockets to instances of the various RNG algorithms available to the
kernel. For those RNG's that support it, instances can be r
10 matches
