From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 8499a2454d9e8a55ce616ede9f9580f36fd5b0f3 upstream. While reading sysctl_tcp_nometrics_save, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader. Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
