From 64276a9939ff414f2f0db38036cf4e1a0a703394 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 23:04:56 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] random: cleanup UUID handling Rather than hard coding various lengths, we can use the right constants. Strings should be `char *` while buffers should be `u8 *`. Rather than have a nonsensical and unused maxlength, just remove it. Finally, use snprintf instead of sprintf, just out of good hygiene. As well, remove the old comment about returning a binary UUID via the binary sysctl syscall. That syscall was removed from the kernel in 5.5, and actually, the "uuid_strategy" function and related infrastructure for even serving it via the binary sysctl syscall was removed with 894d2491153a ("sysctl drivers: Remove dead binary sysctl support") back in 2.6.33.
