Some CAN controllers don't implement a FIFO in hardware, but fill their mailboxes in a particular order (from lowest to highest or highest to lowest). This makes problems to read the frames in the correct order from the hardware, as new frames might be filled into just read (low) mailboxes. This gets worse, when following new frames are received into not read (higher) mailboxes. On the bright side some these CAN controllers put a timestamp on each received CAN frame. This patch adds support to offload CAN frames in interrupt context, order them by timestamp and then transmitted in a NAPI context. Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
