This code creates a 'struct hw_stats_attribute' for each sysfs entry that contains a naked 'struct attribute' inside. It then proceeds to attach this same structure to a 'struct device' kobj and a 'struct ib_port' kobj. However, this violates the typing requirements. 'struct device' requires the attribute to be a 'struct device_attribute' and 'struct ib_port' requires the attribute to be 'struct port_attribute'. This happens to work because the show/store function pointers in all three structures happen to be at the same offset and happen to be nearly the same signature. This means when container_of() was used to go between the wrong two types it still managed to work. However clang CFI detection notices that the function pointers have a slightly different signature. As with show/store this was only working because the device and port struct layouts happened to have the kobj at the front. Correct this by have two independent sets of data structures for the port and device case. The two different attributes correctly include the port/device_attribute struct and everything from there up is kept split. The show/store function call chains start with device/port unique functions that invoke a common show/store function pointer.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
