What about ep_user_copy_worker()? And what about all other calls to ki_complete that are not using a (long) cast? This feels wrong, what exactly is the reported error and how come other kernel calls to this function pointer have not had a problem with CFI? ceph_aio_complete() would be another example, right? thanks, greg k-h
