Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Fix data races in proc_doulongvec_minmax().
Git-commit: c31bcc8fb89fc2812663900589c6325ba35d9a65
Patch-mainline: v5.19-rc7
References: git-fixes

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.

This patch changes proc_doulongvec_minmax() to use READ_ONCE() and
WRITE_ONCE() internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side.  For now,
proc_doulongvec_minmax() itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still
need to add annotations on the other subsystem's side.
