SubjectRe: [PATCH] ntfs: Fix ntfs_test_inode and ntfs_init_locked_inode function type

Luca,
Since CFI is not yet upstream (is downstream in Android, blocked on
LTO patches currently working their way through upstreaming+code
review), it might help explain to reviewers what CFI *even is*.
Something like:

"""
Clang's Control Flow Integrity (CFI) is a security mechanism that can
help prevent JOP chains, deployed extensively in downstream kernels
used in Android.

It's deployment is hindered by mismatches in function signatures. For
this case, we make callbacks match their intended function signature,
and cast parameters within them rather than casting the callback when
passed as a parameter.

When running `mount -t ntfs ...` we observe the following trace:
"""

I also always recommend setting an explicit `--to=` when sending
patches; some maintainers only know to take a look at patches if
they're in the To: list. Maybe they have email filters on this. You
can you `./script/get_maintainer.pl` on your patch file, or manually
check MAINTAINERS. In this case, it looks like Anton is cc'ed at
least.

Since this patch modifies the type signature of callbacks to the
expected type, casting the callback's parameters instead; I'm happy
with this patch. The callbacks never get invoked directly (not
explicitly called, only invoked indirectly), there is no argument for
loss of type safety (the interfaces are already lossy in that the
interface uses void* parameters). I just would like the commit
message beefed up before I sign off. Are you comfortable sending a
V2?

Looks like the signature of ilookup5 is:

struct inode *ilookup5(struct super_block *sb, unsigned long hashval,
int (*test)(struct inode *, void *), void *data)

while ntfs_test_inode is:

int ntfs_test_inode(struct inode *vi, ntfs_attr *na)

while test_t is defined way below to:

typedef int (*test_t)(struct inode *, void *);
