[PATCH 5.4 25/87] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 12:39:24 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 92c0aa4175474483d6cf373314343d4e624e882a ]

While reading sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Fixes: 6b58e0a5f32d ("ipv4: Use binary search to choose tcp PMTU probe_size")
