From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 79539f34743d3e14cc1fa6577d326a82cc64d62f ] While reading sysctl_max_syn_backlog, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
