tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_challenge_ack_limit.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit db3815a upstream.

While reading sysctl_tcp_challenge_ack_limit, it can be changed
concurrently.  Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

Fixes: 282f23c ("tcp: implement RFC 5961 3.2")
