netif_carrier_on()
[ Upstream commit 6841cab8c4504835e4011689cbdb3351dec693fd ]
This race condition was discovered while updating the at91_can driver
to use can_bus_off(). The following scenario describes how the
converted at91_can driver would behave.
When a CAN device goes into BUS-OFF state, the driver usually
stops/resets the CAN device and calls can_bus_off().
This function sets the netif carrier to off, and (if configured by
user space) schedules a delayed work that calls can_restart() to
restart the CAN device.
The can_restart() function first checks if the carrier is off and
triggers an error message if the carrier is OK.
Then it calls the driver's do_set_mode() function to restart the
device, then it sets the netif carrier to on. There is a race window
between these two calls.
The at91 CAN controller (observed on the sama5d3, a single core 32 bit
ARM CPU) has a hardware limitation. If the device goes into bus-off
while sending a CAN frame, there is no way to abort the sending of
this frame. After the controller is enabled again, another attempt is
made to send it.
If the bus is still faulty, the device immediately goes back to the
bus-off state. The driver calls can_bus_off(), the netif carrier is
switched off and another can_restart is scheduled. This occurs within
the race window before the original can_restart() handler marks the
netif carrier as OK. This would cause the 2nd can_restart() to be
called with an OK netif carrier, resulting in an error message.
The flow of the 1st can_restart() looks like this:
can_restart()
// bail out if netif_carrier is OK
netif_carrier_ok(dev)
priv->do_set_mode(dev, CAN_MODE_START)
// enable CAN controller
// sama5d3 restarts sending old message
// CAN devices goes into BUS_OFF, triggers IRQ
// IRQ handler start
at91_irq()
at91_irq_err_line()
can_bus_off()
netif_carrier_off()
schedule_delayed_work()
// IRQ handler end
netif_carrier_on()
The 2nd can_restart() will be called with an OK netif carrier and the
error message will be printed.
To close the race window, first set the netif carrier to on, then
restart the controller. In case the restart fails with an error code,
roll back the netif carrier to off.

[ Upstream commit fe5c9940dfd8ba0c73672dddb30acd1b7a11d4c7 ]
During testing, I triggered a can_restart() with the netif carrier
being OK [1]. The BUG_ON, which checks if the carrier is OK, results
in a fatal kernel crash. This is neither helpful for debugging nor for
a production system.
[1] The root cause is a race condition in can_restart() which will be
fixed in the next patch.
Do not crash the kernel, issue an error message instead, and continue
restarting the CAN device anyway.

[ Upstream commit 4e096a18867a5a989b510f6999d9c6b6622e8f7b ]
Since 20dd3850bcf8 ("can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using
ml_priv") the CAN framework uses per device specific data in the AF_CAN
protocol. For this purpose the struct net_device->ml_priv is used. Later
the ml_priv usage in CAN was extended for other users, one of them being
CAN_J1939.
Later in the kernel ml_priv was converted to an union, used by other
drivers. E.g. the tun driver started storing it's stats pointer.
Since tun devices can claim to be a CAN device, CAN specific protocols
will wrongly interpret this pointer, which will cause system crashes.
Mostly this issue is visible in the CAN_J1939 stack.
To fix this issue, we request a dedicated CAN pointer within the
net_device struct.

[ Upstream commit 3e77f70e734584e0ad1038e459ed3fd2400f873a ]
This patch moves the CAN driver related infrastructure into a separate subdir.
It will be split into more files in the coming patches.
