random: restore O_NONBLOCK support
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.148 commit fc87c413f272797cba689b826862a402d5154b96 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6D0WL Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=fc87c413f272797cba689b826862a402d5154b96 -------------------------------- commit cd4f24ae upstream. Prior to 5.6, when /dev/random was opened with O_NONBLOCK, it would return -EAGAIN if there was no entropy. When the pools were unified in 5.6, this was lost. The post 5.6 behavior of blocking until the pool is initialized, and ignoring O_NONBLOCK in the process, went unnoticed, with no reports about the regression received for two and a half years. However, eventually this indeed did break somebody's userspace. So we restore the old behavior, by returning -EAGAIN if the pool is not initialized. Unlike the old /dev/random, this can only occur during early boot, after which it never blocks again. In order to make this O_NONBLOCK behavior consistent with other expectations, also respect users reading with preadv2(RWF_NOWAIT) and similar.
