> When building drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/xsk.c for ARCH=arm with
> CONFIG_CFI=y using a version of LLVM prior to 22.0.0, there is a

>   CONFIG_CFI=y
>   CONFIG_IDPF=y

> libeth_xdp_tx_xmit_bulk() indirectly calls libeth_xsk_xmit_fill_buf()

> Unfortunately, the generic kCFI pass in LLVM expands the kCFI bundles
> from the indirect calls in libeth_xdp_tx_xmit_bulk() in such a way
> that later optimizations cannot turn these calls into direct ones,
> making the BUILD_BUG_ON fail because it cannot be proved at compile
> time that tmo is libeth_xsktmo.
> 
> Disable the generic kCFI pass for libeth_xdp_tx_xmit_bulk() to ensure
> these indirect calls can always be turned into direct calls to avoid
