random: use static branch for crng_ready()
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.119 commit 811afd06e0f333d7bdd5c7debd90ad0c392b465c category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5L6BB Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=811afd06e0f333d7bdd5c7debd90ad0c392b465c -------------------------------- commit f5bda35f upstream. Since crng_ready() is only false briefly during initialization and then forever after becomes true, we don't need to evaluate it after, making it a prime candidate for a static branch. One complication, however, is that it changes state in a particular call to credit_init_bits(), which might be made from atomic context, which means we must kick off a workqueue to change the static key. Further complicating things, credit_init_bits() may be called sufficiently early on in system initialization such that system_wq is NULL. Fortunately, there exists the nice function execute_in_process_context(), which will immediately execute the function if !in_interrupt(), and otherwise defer it to a workqueue. During early init, before workqueues are available, in_interrupt() is always false, because interrupts haven't even been enabled yet, which means the function in that case executes immediately. Later on, after workqueues are available, in_interrupt() might be true, but in that case, the work is queued in system_wq and all goes well.
