Hello David

We could use the nanosec resolution for various functions defined in drivers/char/random.c
(secure_tcpv6_sequence_number(), secure_tcp_sequence_number(), secure_dccp_sequence_number())

I am not sure if it's a netdev related patch or core kernel, so I have CC Andrew.

Thank you

[PATCH] NET : random functions can use nsec resolution instead of usec

In order to get more randomness for secure_tcpv6_sequence_number(), secure_tcp_sequence_number(), secure_dccp_sequence_number() functions, we can use the high resolution time services, providing nanosec resolution.

I've also done two kmalloc()/kzalloc() conversions.

Looks good to me.
