From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3c9ba81d72047f2e81bb535d42856517b613aba7 ] While reading sysctl_somaxconn, 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.
