If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From bbab7ef235031f6733b5429ae7877bfa22339712 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2019 10:34:47 -0800 Subject: net: icmp: fix data-race in cmp_global_allow() From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> commit bbab7ef235031f6733b5429ae7877bfa22339712 upstream. This code reads two global variables without protection of a lock. We need READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs to avoid load/store-tearing and better document the intent.
