I think it would be a much better idea to cap the number of interrupts per second the reseeder accepts. e.g. have a sysctl to set the max and default it to something reasonable, like 200. The seeder would thus only run 200 times a second even if A person were getting

1) Reduce the ring size to something reasonable. 1024 is massive overkill. 32 would be just fine. I'll play with this. 2) Add a mandatory tsleep in random_kthread() for EACH entry scanned from the harvest ring. Something reasonable like 1/10 second (similar to what
