Hi Jason, I did not know you already addressed the problem in the Linux
kernel, I just made a quick search in Wireguard mailing list but I did
not find any discussion related to RDRAND
I did not experience the problem (I haven't run proper tests yet), and I
haven't studied yet in detail all new replies in the thread. I just
wanted to let Wireguard developers know about this problem because I
thought it may affect Wireguard
