Hi Ladi,
I think this is fine if we have multiple requests from Guests and
depending on entropy pool available we can honour individual requests
and return with the entropy.
Just one point I have is, Suppose we have multiple requests from Guests
and we are returning if request length < 0 for any request. There might
be pending requests which will get executed in next iteration?Can we honour
them in same iteration?
static void entropy_available(void *opaque)
{
...
...
while (s->requests != NULL) {
...
if (len < 0 && errno == EAGAIN) {
+ return;
+ }
...
Best regards,
Pankaj
