[PATCH 5.4 50/87] tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_slow_start_after_idle.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Jul 27 2022 - 12:46:00 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4845b5713ab18a1bb6e31d1fbb4d600240b8b691 ]

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

Fixes: 35089bb203f4 ("[TCP]: Add tcp_slow_start_after_idle sysctl.")
