Merge branch 'sysctl-data-races'
Kuniyuki Iwashima says: ==================== sysctl: Fix data-races around ipv4_table. 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. The first half of this series changes some proc handlers used in ipv4_table to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. Then, the second half adds READ_ONCE() to the other readers of ipv4_table. Changes: v2: * Drop some changes that makes backporting difficult * First cleanup patch * Lockless helpers and .proc_handler changes * Drop the tracing part for .sysctl_mem * Steve already posted a fix * Drop int-to-bool change for cipso * Should be posted to net-next later * Drop proc_dobool() change * Can be included in another series v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20220706052130.16368-1-kuniyu@amazon.com/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
