2010-02-03can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts instead of workqueues.Christian Pellegrin
This patch addresses concerns about efficiency of handling incoming packets. Handling of interrupts is done in a threaded interrupt handler which has a smaller latency than workqueues. This change needed a rework of the locking scheme that was much simplified. Some other (more or less longstanding) bugs are fixed: utilization of just half of the RX buffers, useless wait for interrupt on open, more reliable reset sequence. The MERR interrupt is not used anymore: it overloads the CPU in error-passive state without any additional information. One shot mode is disabled because it's not clear if it can be handled efficiently on this CAN controller.

2010-01-15can: Proper ctrlmode handling for CAN devicesChristian Pellegrin
This patch adds error checking of ctrlmode values for CAN devices. As an example all availabe bits are implemented in the mcp251x driver. Signed-off-by: Christian Pellegrin <chripell@fsfe.org> Acked-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-01-12can: Unify droping of invalid tx skbs and netdev statsOliver Hartkopp
To prevent the CAN drivers to operate on invalid socketbuffers the skbs are now checked and silently dropped at the xmit-function consistently. Also the netdev stats are consistently using the CAN data length code (dlc) for [rx|tx]_bytes now.

2010-01-03drivers/net/can: Correct NULL testJulia Lawall
Test the just-allocated value for NULL rather than some other value. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression x,y; statement S; @@ x = \(kmalloc\|kcalloc\|kzalloc\)(...); ( if ((x) == NULL) S | if ( - y + x == NULL) S ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Acked-by: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@hartkopp.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-12-13can: Fix data length code handling in rx pathOliver Hartkopp
A valid CAN dataframe can have a data length code (DLC) of 0 .. 8 data bytes. When reading the CAN controllers register the 4-bit value may contain values from 0 .. 15 which may exceed the reserved space in the socket buffer! The ISO 11898-1 Chapter 8.4.2.3 (DLC field) says that register values > 8 should be reduced to 8 without any error reporting or frame drop. This patch introduces a new helper macro to cast a given 4-bit data length code (dlc) to __u8 and ensure the DLC value to be max. 8 bytes. The different handlings in the rx path of the CAN netdevice drivers are fixed.
