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/

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
