Hi
I should use "get_random_int()" function in my driver, but I dont know how to create new seed for that.(the random should be an int)
does anyone have solution for that?

Thx in advance

You're programming in C???

Look to this stack overflow answer for seeding the random number generator:

Yes,I'm using C but as it is a driver and I can't use the user space libs and I must use Kernel Functions so I can't use "srand(time(NULL));"

thx for reply
