The issue the patch addresses is only that on Hyper-V with para-virt drivers, the /dev/random implementation does not receive interrupts. The issue of rollback (if you refer to activating an earlier saved image of the guest) is a real issue the guest cannot do anything about it that is effective (i.e. the guest can do without the help of the VMM). Note, rollback is just a special case of a much broader issue of the duplication of the RNG state by the VMM (be it snapshots, move of a guest to another VMM, suspend/resume, ...). However, the patch to enable interrupts does not seem to be related to that issue as interrupts are not re-issued in case of rollbacks, are they? Ciao Stephan
