This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl. to the 5.18-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: icmp-fix-data-races-around-sysctl.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.18 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit feb9fa400d52c9649704e6721c20e1b5797720d2 Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 6 16:40:02 2022 -0700 icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl. [ Upstream commit 48d7ee321ea5182c6a70782aa186422a70e67e22 ] While reading icmp sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently. So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races.
