From 4762b532ec9539755aab61445d5da6e1926ccb99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kuniyuki Iwashima Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2022 16:39:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec(). 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() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_douintvec() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
