3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Guillaume Nault gnault@redhat.com
commit 721c8dafad26ccfa90ff659ee19755e3377b829d upstream.
Syncookies borrow the ->rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp field to store the timestamp of the last synflood. Protect them with READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE() since reads and writes aren't serialised.
Use of .rx_opt.ts_recent_stamp for storing the synflood timestamp was introduced by a0f82f64e269 ("syncookies: remove last_synq_overflow from struct tcp_sock"). But unprotected accesses were already there when timestamp was stored in .last_synq_overflow.
