[PATCH] openvswitch: Change the return type for vport_ops.send function hook to int
From: Nathan Huckleberry
Date: Tue Sep 13 2022 - 19:07:53 EST
All usages of the vport_ops struct have the .send field set to
dev_queue_xmit or internal_dev_recv. Since most usages are set to
dev_queue_xmit, the function hook should match the signature of
dev_queue_xmit.
The only call to vport_ops->send() is in net/openvswitch/vport.c and it
throws away the return value.
This mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.
