[PATCH 5.15 098/201] tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_max_syn_backlog.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 13:11:40 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 79539f34743d3e14cc1fa6577d326a82cc64d62f ]

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

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
