Subject: [PATCH 4/6] net/qede: replace use of rand()
Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2024 09:57:09 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240301175842.159967-5-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240301175842.159967-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
The function of rand() is a weak random number generator.
Use the DPDK rte_rand() instead.
Note: this doesn't matter for real security, since most drivers
use a fixed RSS default key.
