--- Comment #7 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at redhat dot com> ---
Perhaps upon the first EEXIST it could getrandom (with GRND_NONBLOCK) and from
that decide the addend to be used instead of 7777 and use RANDOM_BITS only
before the loop as the base? The code should make sure the addend isn't
something like 0 or that would cause only very few possibilities in the TMP_MAX
attempts. And/or the addend could change every few hundred attempts.
