2010-02-26can: netlink support for bus-error reporting and countersWolfgang Grandegger1-0/+2
This patch makes the bus-error reporting configurable and allows to retrieve the CAN TX and RX bus error counters via netlink interface. I have added support for the SJA1000. The TX and RX bus error counters are also copied to the data fields 6..7 of error messages when state changes are reported.

2010-01-15can: Proper ctrlmode handling for CAN devicesChristian Pellegrin1-0/+1
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 Hartkopp1-0/+15
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.

2009-12-14can: Fix data length code handling in rx pathOliver Hartkopp1-0/+9
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.

2009-10-20can: provide library functions for skb allocationWolfgang Grandegger1-0/+4
This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all drivers to use these. While making the patch I realized, that the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown below: skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN); skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST; skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY; *cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame)); memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame)); The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or "ip_summed". Also, "__constant_htons()" should not be used for runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.

2009-10-13can: make the number of echo skb's configurableWolfgang Grandegger1-8/+8
This patch allows the CAN controller driver to define the number of echo skb's used for the local loopback (echo), as suggested by Kurt Van Dijck, with the function: struct net_device *alloc_candev(int sizeof_priv, unsigned int echo_skb_max); The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly. For the ems_usb driver, as suggested by Sebastian Haas, the number of echo skb's has been increased to 10, which improves the transmission performance a lot.

2009-09-04can: add can_free_echo_skb() for upcoming driversWolfgang Grandegger1-0/+1
This patch adds the function can_free_echo_skb to the CAN device interface to allow upcoming drivers to release echo skb's in case of error. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-05-19can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interfaceWolfgang Grandegger1-0/+70
The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko. Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.
