CFI is Control Flow Integrity or Common Flash Interface depending on which subsystem we're talking about. I really think that Clang needs to be fixed if this really causes an issue for Clang. How on earth are we going to know where to add all the casts? The commit message says "this might cause a CFI" failure. Either it does or it doesn't. Please someone test this so we can know what's going on. Why is it backported to 5.15? I thought CFI was not going to backported that far and I has seen people complaining about CFI backports. regards, dan carpenter
