> So you are intentionally accepting a new vector for DoS attacks, and calling
this non-reduced security?
This is only a DoS vector if you can hit the server so early in the boot process that it doesn't have enough entropy. The *second* enough entropy has been gathered getrandom() will never block again.
In essence, then, the situation where it becomes possible to DoS a server is entirely outside an attackers control and extremely unlikely to ever actually occur in real life: you can only DoS the server if you can demand entropy before the system has gathered enough, and if the server has managed to *boot* by then then the alternative is that it is incapable of generating secure random numbers and shouldn't be running exposed against the web anyway.
