[PATCH v1 net 13/15] tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_ecn_fallback.

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima
Date: Mon Jul 11 2022 - 20:21:52 EST


While reading sysctl_tcp_ecn_fallback, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Fixes: 492135557dc0 ("tcp: add rfc3168, section 6.1.1.1. fallback")
