+Subject: tcp: make challenge acks faster
+
+From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
+
+When backporting upstream commit 75ff39ccc1bd ("tcp: make challenge acks
+less predictable") I negelected to use the correct ACCESS* type macros.
+This fixes that up to hopefully speed things up a bit more.
+
+Thanks to Chas Wiliams for the 3.10 backport which reminded me of this.
