Subject: [PATCH v2] staging: rtl8192u: Fix return type of ieee80211_xmit
Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2022 14:07:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220914210750.423048-1-nhuck@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAJkfWY6FYCNz_5+5cM2GoJdGLdBu7aPzs0e8uFmhgZRE_axLSQ@mail.gmail.com>

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 ieee80211_xmit should be changed from int to
netdev_tx_t.
