Subject: sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec_minmax().
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2d3b559df3ed39258737789aae2ae7973d205bc1;p=linux.git

sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec_minmax().

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