Subject: [musl] [PATCH] getentropy: fail if buffer not completely filled
Date: Sat,  9 Apr 2022 02:10:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220409001047.234283-1-Jason@zx2c4.com> (raw)

The man page for getentropy says that it either completely succeeds or
completely fails, and indeed this is what glibc does. However, musl has
a condition where it breaks out of the loop early, yet still returns a
success. This patch fixes that by returning a success only if the buffer
is completely filled. While we're at it, prevent an unexpected infinite
loop if the function returns 0, the same way glibc does, just in case.
