[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 21/27] staging: octeon: Fix return type of cvm_oct_xmit and cvm_oct_xmit_pow
From: Sasha Levin
Date: Wed Oct 12 2022 - 20:35:46 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.
