-From: Leonardo Chiquitto <leonardo@ngdn.org>
-Subject: Check for signals in update_kernel_random()
-
-When running as a daemon, a signal handler is installed to catch
-SIGINT/SIGTERM. This handler sets a flag that's tested in the main
-loop. However, rngd loops in update_kernel_random() as well, where
-the flag was not tested.
-
-This patch adds the check to update_kernel_random() so that the
-daemon exits properly after receiving a SIGINT/SIGTERM signal.
