When two threads run proc_do_sync_threshold() in parallel, data races could happen between the two memcpy(): Thread-1 Thread-2 memcpy(val, valp, sizeof(val)); memcpy(valp, val, sizeof(val)); This race might mess up the (struct ctl_table *) table->data, so we add a mutex lock to serilize them, as discussed in [1].
