Subject: netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_obsolescence_count_initialiser
X-Git-Url: http://xenbits.xensource.com/gitweb?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e439607291c082332e1e35baf8faf8552e6bcb4a;p=people%2Faperard%2Flinux.git

netrom: Fix a data-race around sysctl_netrom_obsolescence_count_initialiser

[ Upstream commit cfd9f4a740f772298308b2e6070d2c744fb5cf79 ]

We need to protect the reader reading the sysctl value
because the value can be changed concurrently.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
