Subject: tcp: protect sysctl_tcp_cookie_size reads
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.36.3~94
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2efb9908d6ac415d69b2688b684799c51eb844fd;p=karo-tx-linux.git

tcp: protect sysctl_tcp_cookie_size reads

[ Upstream commit f19872575ff7819a3723154657a497d9bca66b33 ]

Make sure sysctl_tcp_cookie_size is read once in
tcp_cookie_size_check(), or we might return an illegal value to caller
if sysctl_tcp_cookie_size is changed by another cpu.
