2009-11-13can: add the missing netlink get_xstats_size callbackWolfgang Grandegger
This patch adds the missing "get_xstats_size" callback for the netlink interface, which is required if "fill_xstats" is used, as pointed out by Patrick McHardy. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-11-08net: Support specifying the network namespace upon device creation.Eric W. Biederman
There is no good reason to not support userspace specifying the network namespace during device creation, and it makes it easier to create a network device and pass it to a child network namespace with a well known name. We have to be careful to ensure that the target network namespace for the new device exists through the life of the call. To keep that logic clear I have factored out the network namespace grabbing logic into rtnl_link_get_net. In addtion we need to continue to pass the source network namespace to the rtnl_link_ops.newlink method so that we can find the base device source network namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-11-08can: fix WARN_ON dump in net/core/rtnetlink.c:rtmsg_ifinfo()Wolfgang Grandegger
On older kernels, e.g. 2.6.27, a WARN_ON dump in rtmsg_ifinfo() is thrown when the CAN device is registered due to insufficient skb space, as reported by various users. This patch adds the rtnl_link_ops "get_size" to fix the problem. I think this patch is required for more recent kernels as well, even if no WARN_ON dumps are triggered. Maybe we also need "get_xstats_size" for the CAN xstats. Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-10-20can: provide library functions for skb allocationWolfgang Grandegger
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 Grandegger
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.

2009-08-13can: fix oops caused by wrong rtnl newlink usageOliver Hartkopp
For 'real' hardware CAN devices the netlink interface is used to set CAN specific communication parameters. Real CAN hardware can not be created with the ip tool ... The invocation of 'ip link add type can' lead to an oops as the standard rtnl newlink function was called: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13954 This patch adds a private newlink function for the CAN device driver interface that unconditionally returns -EOPNOTSUPP.

This patch fixes a problem when a device is stopped while in the bus-off state. Then the carrier remains off forever. Signed-off-by: Kurt Van Dijck <kurt.van.dijck@skynet.be> Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-07-20can: restart device even if dev_alloc_skb() failsWolfgang Grandegger
If dev_alloc_skb() failed in can_restart(), the device was left behind in the bus-off state. This patch restarts the device nevertheless. Signed-off-by: Kurt Van Dijck <kurt.van.dijck@eia.be> Signed-off-by: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@grandegger.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-05-18can: CAN Network device driver and Netlink interfaceWolfgang Grandegger
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.
