commitcd4f24ae94upstream. Prior to 5.6, when /dev/random was opened with O_NONBLOCK, it would return -EAGAIN if there was no entropy. When the pools were unified in 5.6, this was lost. The post 5.6 behavior of blocking until the pool is initialized, and ignoring O_NONBLOCK in the process, went unnoticed, with no reports about the regression received for two and a half years. However, eventually this indeed did break somebody's userspace. So we restore the old behavior, by returning -EAGAIN if the pool is not initialized. Unlike the old /dev/random, this can only occur during early boot, after which it never blocks again. In order to make this O_NONBLOCK behavior consistent with other expectations, also respect users reading with preadv2(RWF_NOWAIT) and similar.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
