The virtio-rng driver uses a completion called have_data to wait for a virtio read to be fulfilled by the hypervisor. The completion is reset before placing a buffer on the virtio queue and completed by the virtio callback once data has been written into the buffer. Prior to this commit, the driver called init_completion on this completion both during probe as well as when registering virtio buffers as part of a hwrng read operation. The second of these init_completion calls should instead be reinit_completion because the have_data completion has already been inited by probe. As described in Documentation/scheduler/completion.txt, "Calling init_completion() twice on the same completion object is most likely a bug". This bug was present in the initial implementation of virtio-rng in f7f510ec ("virtio: An entropy device, as suggested by hpa"). Back then the have_data completion was a single static completion rather than a member of one of potentially multiple virtrng_info structs as implemented later by 08e53fbd ("virtio-rng: support multiple virtio-rng devices"). The original driver incorrectly used init_completion rather than INIT_COMPLETION to reset have_data during read. Tested by running `head -c48 /dev/random | hexdump` within crosvm, the Chrome OS virtual machine monitor, and confirming that the virtio-rng driver successfully produces random bytes from the host.
