From: Gao Feng Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2017 23:05:12 +0000 (+0800) Subject: tcp: sysctl: Fix a race to avoid unexpected 0 window from space X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c48367427a39ea0b85c7cf018fe4256627abfd9e;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git tcp: sysctl: Fix a race to avoid unexpected 0 window from space Because sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale could be changed any time, so there is one race in tcp_win_from_space. For example, 1.sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale<=0 (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is negative now) 2.space>>(-sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale) (sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale is postive now) As a result, tcp_win_from_space returns 0. It is unexpected. Certainly if the compiler put the sysctl_tcp_adv_win_scale into one register firstly, then use the register directly, it would be ok. But we could not depend on the compiler behavior. Signed-off-by: Gao Feng Signed-off-by: David S.
