If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d0c067167e080cfc76c63a5cab78ddd6dc4279c7 Author: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Apr 28 10:54:56 2020 -0700 hv_netvsc: Fix netvsc_start_xmit's return type [ Upstream commit 7fdc66debebc6a7170a37c8c9b0d9585a9788fb4 ] netvsc_start_xmit is used as a callback function for the ndo_start_xmit function pointer. ndo_start_xmit's return type is netdev_tx_t but netvsc_start_xmit's return type is int. This causes a failure with Control Flow Integrity (CFI), which requires function pointer prototypes and callback function definitions to match exactly. When CFI is in enforcing, the kernel panics. When booting a CFI kernel with WSL 2, the VM is immediately terminated because of this. The splat when CONFIG_CFI_PERMISSIVE is used: [ 5.916765] CFI failure (target: netvsc_start_xmit+0x0/0x10): [ 5.916771] WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 0 at kernel/cfi.c:29 __cfi_check_fail+0x2e/0x40 [ 5.916772] Modules linked in: [ 5.916774] CPU: 8 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/8 Not tainted 5.7.0-rc3-next-20200424-microsoft-cbl-00001-ged4eb37d2c69-dirty #1 [ 5.916776] RIP: 0010:__cfi_check_fail+0x2e/0x40 [ 5.916777] Code: 48 c7 c7 70 98 63 a9 48 c7 c6 11 db 47 a9 e8 69 55 59 00 85 c0 75 02 5b c3 48 c7 c7 73 c6 43 a9 48 89 de 31 c0 e8 12 2d f0 ff <0f> 0b 5b c3 00 00 cc cc 00 00 cc cc 00 00 cc cc 00 00 85 f6 74 25 [ 5.916778] RSP: 0018:ffffa803c0260b78 EFLAGS: 00010246 [ 5.916779] RAX: 712a1af25779e900 RBX: ffffffffa8cf7950 RCX: ffffffffa962cf08 [ 5.916779] RDX: ffffffffa9c36b60 RSI: 0000000000000082 RDI: ffffffffa9c36b5c [ 5.916780] RBP: ffff8ffc4779c2c0 R08: 0000000000000001 R09: ffffffffa9c3c300 [ 5.916781] R10: 0000000000000151 R11: ffffffffa9c36b60 R12: ffff8ffe39084000 [ 5.916782] R13: ffffffffa8cf7950 R14: ffffffffa8d12cb0 R15: ffff8ffe39320140 [ 5.916784] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8ffe3bc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 5.916785] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 5.916786] CR2: 00007ffef5749408 CR3: 00000002f4f5e000 CR4: 0000000000340ea0 [ 5.916787] Call Trace: [ 5.916788] <IRQ> [ 5.916790] __cfi_check+0x3ab58/0x450e0 [ 5.916793] ? dev_hard_start_xmit+0x11f/0x160 [ 5.916795] ? sch_direct_xmit+0xf2/0x230 [ 5.916796] ? __dev_queue_xmit.llvm.11471227737707190958+0x69d/0x8e0 [ 5.916797] ? neigh_resolve_output+0xdf/0x220 [ 5.916799] ? neigh_connected_output.cfi_jt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916801] ? ip6_finish_output2+0x398/0x4c0 [ 5.916803] ? nf_nat_ipv6_out+0x10/0xa0 [ 5.916804] ? nf_hook_slow+0x84/0x100 [ 5.916807] ? ip6_input_finish+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916807] ? ip6_output+0x6f/0x110 [ 5.916808] ? __ip6_local_out.cfi_jt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916810] ? mld_sendpack+0x28e/0x330 [ 5.916811] ? ip_rt_bug+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916813] ? mld_ifc_timer_expire+0x2db/0x400 [ 5.916814] ? neigh_proxy_process+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916816] ? call_timer_fn+0x3d/0xd0 [ 5.916817] ? __run_timers+0x2a9/0x300 [ 5.916819] ? rcu_core_si+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916820] ? run_timer_softirq+0x14/0x30 [ 5.916821] ? __do_softirq+0x154/0x262 [ 5.916822] ? native_x2apic_icr_write+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916824] ? irq_exit+0xba/0xc0 [ 5.916825] ? hv_stimer0_vector_handler+0x99/0xe0 [ 5.916826] ? hv_stimer0_callback_vector+0xf/0x20 [ 5.916826] </IRQ> [ 5.916828] ? hv_stimer_global_cleanup.cfi_jt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916829] ? raw_setsockopt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916830] ? default_idle+0xe/0x10 [ 5.916832] ? do_idle.llvm.10446269078108580492+0xb7/0x130 [ 5.916833] ? raw_setsockopt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916833] ? cpu_startup_entry+0x15/0x20 [ 5.916835] ? cpu_hotplug_enable.cfi_jt+0x8/0x8 [ 5.916836] ? start_secondary+0x188/0x190 [ 5.916837] ? secondary_startup_64+0xa5/0xb0 [ 5.916838] ---[ end trace f2683fa869597ba5 ]--- Avoid this by using the right return type for netvsc_start_xmit.
