From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7c6f2a86ca590d5187a073d987e9599985fb1c7c ] While reading sysctl_tcp_thin_linear_timeouts, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader. Fixes: 36e31b0af587 ("net: TCP thin linear timeouts") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
