| H A D | sysctl.c | diff c31bcc8fb89fc2812663900589c6325ba35d9a65 Wed Jul 06 18:39:56 CDT 2022 Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com> sysctl: Fix data races in proc_doulongvec_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_doulongvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now,
proc_doulongvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
