netlink-notifier: Silence the UBsan's function pointer mismatch error.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There are two types of netlink notifier callbacks: nln_notify_func and
rtnetlink_notify_func.  The rtnetlink_notify_func is only registered
via rtnetlink_notifier_create(), so there is no real case where we
could use the wrong function pointer.  But UBsan in Clang 17 complains
that the function pointer type is not exactly the same:

  lib/netlink-notifier.c:237:13: runtime error: call to function
    name_table_change through pointer to incorrect function type
    'void (*)(const void *, void *)'

  lib/route-table.c:406: note: name_table_change defined here

    6 0x42dfd4 in _start (vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd+0x42dfd4)

Turn off function sanitizing for nln_report() the same as we do for
RCU callbacks to avoid runtime errors with UBsan enabled.

Reproduced with OVN test suite running multiple tests in parallel.
