| H A D | sysctl.c | diff e877820877663fbae8cb9582ea597a7230b94df3 Wed Jul 06 18:39:57 CDT 2022 Kuniyuki Iwashima <kuniyu@amazon.com> sysctl: Fix data races in proc_dointvec_jiffies().
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_dointvec_jiffies() to use READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now,
proc_dointvec_jiffies() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
