From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 2e0c42374ee32e72948559d2ae2f7ba3dc6b977c ] While reading netdev_budget, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader. Fixes: 51b0bdedb8e7 ("[NET]: Separate two usages of netdev_max_backlog.") Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
