    crypto: ansi_prng - alloc cipher just in init · fd09d7fa
    Sebastian Andrzej Siewior authored
    As reported by Eric Sesterhenn the re-allocation of the cipher in reset leads
    to:

    because a spin lock is held and crypto_alloc_base() may sleep.
    There is no reason to re-allocate the cipher, the state is resetted in
    ->setkey(). This patches makes the cipher allocation a one time thing and
    moves it to init.
