Subject: [PATCH] tcp: protect sysctl_tcp_cookie_size reads
Date: Tue, 07 Dec 2010 23:20:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1291760447.5324.31.camel@edumazet-laptop> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1291757288.5324.18.camel@edumazet-laptop>

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.
