From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit fa45d484c52c73f79db2c23b0cdfc6c6455093ad ] While reading netdev_budget_usecs, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader. Fixes: 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
