[PATCH 5.15 122/201] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_early_retrans.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 13:15:44 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 52e65865deb6a36718a463030500f16530eaab74 ]

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