[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 1/4] VirtIO-RNG: Update default entropy source to `/dev/urandom`

2019-05-29 Thread Laurent Vivier
From: Kashyap Chamarthy When QEMU exposes a VirtIO-RNG device to the guest, that device needs a source of entropy, and that source needs to be "non-blocking", like `/dev/urandom`. However, currently QEMU defaults to the problematic `/dev/random`, which on Linux is "blocking" (as in, it waits unt
