From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 706c6202a3589f290e1ef9be0584a8f4a3cc0507 upstream. While reading sysctl_tcp_frto, 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.
