From 39c9e5566ac590ad2c9e488baaf6058c251b8fb5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 14:00:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: don't let 644 read-only sysctls be written to commit 77553cf8f44863b31da242cf24671d76ddb61597 upstream. We leave around these old sysctls for compatibility, and we keep them "writable" for compatibility, but even after writing, we should keep reporting the same value. This is consistent with how userspaces tend to use sysctl_random_write_wakeup_bits, writing to it, and then later reading from it and using the value.
