From b4db2b35fc444409daf483006111a2a705550fff Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:34:07 +0000 Subject: afs: Use core kernel UUID generation AFS uses a time based UUID to identify the host itself. This requires getting a timestamp which is currently done through the getnstimeofday() interface that we want to eventually get rid of. Instead of replacing it with a ktime-based interface, simply remove the entire function and use generate_random_uuid() instead, which has a v4 ("completely random") UUID instead of the time-based one.
