Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 bpf 0/4] bpf: sysctl: Fix data-races around
 net.core.bpf_XXX.

This patch set got my attention because I found some issue about 
bpf_jit_harden.
But after reading your patches, I did not get what the problem you are 
trying resolve and what is improved.
You said there is a data race, what is that? Can you please show how 
does this happen? What is the influence?
Would you please let me know these background info?
