[PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 48/67] staging: octeon: Fix return type of cvm_oct_xmit and cvm_oct_xmit_pow

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Oct 12 2022 - 20:21:19 EST


From: Nathan Huckleberry <nhuck@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b77599043f00fce9253d0f22522c5d5b521555ce ]

The ndo_start_xmit field in net_device_ops is expected to be of type
netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev).

The mismatched return type breaks forward edge kCFI since the underlying
function definition does not match the function hook definition.

The return type of cvm_oct_xmit and cvm_oct_xmit_pow should be changed
from int to netdev_tx_t.
