From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9fb90193fbd66b4c5409ef729fd081861f8b6351 upstream. While reading sysctl_tcp_limit_output_bytes, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader. Fixes: 46d3ceabd8d9 ("tcp: TCP Small Queues") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
