ANDROID: ABI fixup for abi break in struct dst_ops In commit 92f1655aa2b2 ("net: fix __dst_negative_advice() race") the struct dst_ops callback negative_advice is callback changes function parameters. But as this pointer is part of a structure that is tracked in the ABI checker, the tool triggers when this is changed. However, the callback pointer is internal to the networking stack, so changing the function type is safe, so needing to preserve this is not required. To do so, switch the function pointer type back to the old one so that the checking tools pass, AND then do a hard cast of the function pointer to the new type when assigning and calling the function. [6.1.y backport note, work around --Werror=cast-function-type issue by abusing void * for function pointer types, despite its best effort, C still let's us shoot our foot off if we really want to!] Bug: 343727534 Fixes: 92f1655aa2b2 ("net: fix __dst_negative_advice() race") Change-Id: I48d4ab4bbd29f8edc8fbd7923828b7f78a23e12e Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@google.com>
BEST: Make all of your changes to upstream Linux. If appropriate, backport to the stable releases. These patches will be merged automatically in the corresponding common kernels. If the patch is already in upstream Linux, post a backport of the patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
require an in-tree modular driver that uses the symbol -- so include the new driver or changes to an existing driver in the same patchset as the export.LESS GOOD: Develop your patches out-of-tree (from an upstream Linux point-of-view). Unless these are fixing an Android-specific bug, these are very unlikely to be accepted unless they have been coordinated with kernel-team@android.com. If you want to proceed, post a patch that conforms to the patch requirements below.
