[PATCH 5.4 33/77] net: Fix a data-race around netdev_budget_usecs.

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Sep 02 2022 - 08:35:24 EST


From: Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fa45d484c52c73f79db2c23b0cdfc6c6455093ad ]

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

Fixes: 7acf8a1e8a28 ("Replace 2 jiffies with sysctl netdev_budget_usecs to enable softirq tuning")
