The RX buffer split causes packet loss in the hardware:

What happens is:

RX Packet 1 --> message buffer 1 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 2 --> message buffer 2 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 3 --> message buffer 3 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 4 --> message buffer 4 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 5 --> message buffer 5 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 6 --> message buffer 6 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 7 --> message buffer 7 (newdat bit is not cleared)
RX Packet 8 --> message buffer 8 (newdat bit is not cleared)

Clear newdat bit in message buffer 1
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 2
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 3
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 4
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 5
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 6
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 7
Clear newdat bit in message buffer 8

Now if during that clearing of newdat bits, a new message comes in,
the HW gets confused and drops it.

It does not matter how many of them you clear. I put a delay between
clear of buffer 1 and buffer 2 which was long enough that the message
should have been queued either in buffer 1 or buffer 9. But it did not
show up anywhere. The next message ended up in buffer 1. So the
hardware lost a packet of course without telling it via one of the
error handlers.

That does not happen on all clear newdat bit events. I see one of 10k
packets dropped in the scenario which allows us to reproduce. But the
trace looks always the same.

Not splitting the RX Buffer avoids the packet loss but can cause
reordering. It's hard to trigger, but it CAN happen.

With that mode we use the HW as it was probably designed for. We read
from the buffer 1 upwards and clear the buffer as we get the
message. That's how all microcontrollers use it. So I assume that the
way we handle the buffers was never really tested. According to the
public documentation it should just work :)

Let the user decide which evil is the lesser one.

[ Oliver Hartkopp: Provided a sane config option and help text and
  made me switch to favour potential and unlikely reordering over
  packet loss ]

The driver handles pointlessly TWO interrupts per packet. The reason
is that it enables the status interrupt which fires for each rx and tx
packet and it enables the per message object interrupts as well.

The status interrupt merily acks or in case of D_CAN ignores the TX/RX
state and then the message object interrupt fires.

The message objects interrupts are only useful if all message objects
have hardware filters activated.

But we don't have that and its not simple to implement in that driver
without rewriting it completely.

So we can ditch the message object interrupts and handle the RX/TX
right away from the status interrupt. Instead of TWO we handle ONE.

Note: We must keep the TXIE/RXIE bits in the message buffers because
the status interrupt alone is not reliable enough in corner cases.

If we ever have the need for HW filtering, then this code needs a
complete overhaul and we can think about it then. For now we prefer a
lower interrupt load.

The state change handler is called with device interrupts disabled
already. So no point in disabling them again when we enter bus off
state.

But what's worse is that we reenable the interrupts at the end of NAPI
poll unconditionally. So c_can_start() which is called from the
restart timer can trigger interrupts which confuse the hell out of the
half reinitialized driver/hw.

Remove the pointless device interrupt disable in the BUS_OFF handler
and prevent reenabling the device interrupts at the end of the poll
routine when the current state is BUS_OFF.

c_can_start() enables interrupts way too early. The first enabling
happens when setting the control mode in c_can_chip_config() and then
again at the end of the function.

But that happens before napi_enable() and that means that an interrupt
which comes in will disable interrupts again and call napi_schedule,
which ignores the request and the later napi_enable() is not making
thinks work either. So the interface is up with all device interrupts
disabled.

Move the device interrupt after napi_enable() and add it to the other
callsites of c_can_start() in c_can_set_mode() and c_can_power_up()

====================
netlink: Preventing abuse when passing file descriptors.

Andy Lutomirski when looking at the networking stack noticed that it is
possible to trick privilged processes into calling write on a netlink
socket and send netlink messages they did not intend.

In particular from time to time there are suid applications that will
write to stdout or stderr without checking exactly what kind of file
descriptors those are and can be tricked into acting as a limited form
of suid cat.  In other conversations the magic string CVE-2014-0181 has
been used to talk about this issue.

This patchset cleans things up a bit, adds some clean abstractions that
when used prevent this kind of problem and then finally changes all of
the handlers of netlink messages that I could find that call capable to
use netlink_ns_capable or an appropriate wrapper.

The abstraction netlink_ns_capable verifies that the original creator of
the netlink socket a message is sent from had the necessary capabilities
as well as verifying that the current sender of a netlink packet has the
necessary capabilities.

The idea is to prevent file descriptor passing of any form from
resulting in a file descriptor that can do more than it can for the
creator of the file descriptor.

It is possible by passing a netlink socket to a more privileged
executable and then to fool that executable into writing to the socket
data that happens to be valid netlink message to do something that
privileged executable did not intend to do.

To keep this from happening replace bare capable and ns_capable calls
with netlink_capable, netlink_net_calls and netlink_ns_capable calls.
Which act the same as the previous calls except they verify that the
opener of the socket had the desired permissions as well.
