From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 36eeee75ef0157e42fb6593dcc65daab289b559e upstream. While reading sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale, 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.
