[PATCH 4.19 18/41] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_busy_delay

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Mar 13 2024 - 14:23:50 EST


From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 43547d8699439a67b78d6bb39015113f7aa360fd ]

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

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