From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 58ebb1c8b35a8ef38cd6927431e0fa7b173a632d upstream. While reading sysctl_tcp_dsack, 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.
