[PATCH 5.4 21/51] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_no_activity_timeout

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Mar 13 2024 - 14:08:39 EST


From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f99b494b40431f0ca416859f2345746199398e2b ]

We need to protect the reader reading the sysctl value because the
value can be changed concurrently.

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