Hi Ted,

Today's linux-next merge of the random tree got a conflict in
drivers/char/random.c between commit 0244ad004a54 ("random32: add
prandom_reseed_late() and call when nonblocking pool becomes
initialized") from the net-next tree and commit 301f0595c0e7 ("random:
printk notifications for urandom pool initialization") from the random
tree.

I fixed it up (probably not properly - see below) and can carry the fix
as necessary (no action is required).

As per Hannes' suggestion, the result should look like (see cover
letter in [1]):

if (r->entropy_total > 128) {
r->initialized = 1;
r->entropy_total = 0;
if (r == &nonblocking_pool) {
prandom_reseed_late();
pr_notice("random: %s pool is initialized\n",
r->name);
}
}

Cheers,

Daniel
