can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 sockets

2014-03-03T13:29:52+00:00

In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets)
CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy
sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application.

After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature
leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the
application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy
CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g.
make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?).

This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with
real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code
together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

====================
Arnd Bergmann provides a fix for the flexcan driver, enabling compilation on
all combinations of big and little endian on ARM and PowerPc. A patch by Ira W.
Snyder fixes uninitialized variable warnings in the janz-ican3 driver.
Rostislav Lisovy contributes a patch to propagate the SO_PRIORITY of raw
sockets to skbs.

can: add destructor for self generated skbs

2014-01-31T00:25:49+00:00

Self generated skbuffs in net/can/bcm.c are setting a skb->sk reference but
no explicit destructor which is enforced since Linux 3.11 with commit
376c7311bdb6 (net: add a temporary sanity check in skb_orphan()).

This patch adds some helper functions to make sure that a destructor is
properly defined when a sock reference is assigned to a CAN related skb.
To create an unshared skb owned by the original sock a common helper function
has been introduced to replace open coded functions to create CAN echo skbs.

can: Propagate SO_PRIORITY of raw sockets to skbs

2014-01-29T19:23:23+00:00

This allows controlling certain queueing disciplines by setting the
socket's SO_PRIORITY option.

For example, with the default pfifo_fast queueing discipline, which
provides three priorities, socket priority TC_PRIO_CONTROL means
higher than default and TC_PRIO_BULK means lower than default.

net: add build-time checks for msg->msg_name size

2014-01-19T07:04:16+00:00

This is a follow-up patch to f3d3342602f8bc ("net: rework recvmsg
handler msg_name and msg_namelen logic").

DECLARE_SOCKADDR validates that the structure we use for writing the
name information to is not larger than the buffer which is reserved
for msg->msg_name (which is 128 bytes). Also use DECLARE_SOCKADDR
consistently in sendmsg code paths.

can: use __dev_get_by_index instead of dev_get_by_index to find interface

2014-01-15T02:50:47+00:00

As cgw_create_job() is always under rtnl_lock protection,
__dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() should be used to
find interface handler in it having us avoid to change interface
reference counter.

can: gw: remove obsolete checks

2013-12-21T13:56:21+00:00

In commit be286bafe1f4069094865264f29805854c5788bf ("can: gw: add a variable
limit for CAN frame routings") the detection of the frame routing has been
changed. The former solution required dev->header_ops to be unused (== NULL).

I missed to remove the obsolete checks in the original commit - so here it is.

net: 8021q/bluetooth/bridge/can/ceph: Remove extern from function prototypes

2013-10-19T23:12:11+00:00

There are a mix of function prototypes with and without extern
in the kernel sources.  Standardize on not using extern for
function prototypes.

Function prototypes don't need to be written with extern.
extern is assumed by the compiler.  Its use is as unnecessary as
using auto to declare automatic/local variables in a block.
