This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen. to the 5.4-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: tcp-fix-a-data-race-around-sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit b40186736da09f578da0ae9d2e5a54169420c40c Author: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 20 09:50:24 2022 -0700 tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen. [ Upstream commit 1330ffacd05fc9ac4159d19286ce119e22450ed2 ] While reading sysctl_tcp_min_rtt_wlen, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
