[PATCH 5.15 082/167] sysctl: Fix data-races in proc_dou8vec_minmax().

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7dee5d7747a69aa2be41f04c6a7ecfe3ac8cdf18 ]

A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance
of data-race.  So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to
avoid load/store-tearing.

This patch changes proc_dou8vec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side.  For now,
proc_dou8vec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.

Fixes: cb9444130662 ("sysctl: add proc_dou8vec_minmax()")
