[PATCH 5.10 21/73] netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_transport_timeout

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Mar 13 2024 - 13:45:41 EST


From: Jason Xing <kernelxing@xxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 60a7a152abd494ed4f69098cf0f322e6bb140612 ]

We need to protect the reader reading the sysctl value because the
value can be changed concurrently.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
