[PATCH 5.15 116/201] ipv4: Fix a data-race around sysctl_fib_multipath_use_neigh.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 13:14:52 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 87507bcb4f5de16bb419e9509d874f4db6c0ad0f ]

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

Fixes: a6db4494d218 ("net: ipv4: Consider failed nexthops in multipath routes")
