[PATCH 1/2] rngd: add udev rule to source from hwrng if virtio-rng present

From: Amit Shah <hidden>
Date: 2014-08-07 13:09:53
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

On KVM guests where the virtio-rng device is available, and set as the
current rng, this udev rule will start rngd which will feed in the
host-provided entropy to /dev/random.
