can: flexcan: flexcan_mailbox_read() fix return value for drop = true
The following happened on an i.MX25 using flexcan with many packets on the bus: The rx-offload queue reached a length more than skb_queue_len_max. In can_rx_offload_offload_one() the drop variable was set to true which made the call to .mailbox_read() (here: flexcan_mailbox_read()) to _always_ return ERR_PTR(-ENOBUFS) and drop the rx'ed CAN frame. So can_rx_offload_offload_one() returned ERR_PTR(-ENOBUFS), too. can_rx_offload_irq_offload_fifo() looks as follows: | while (1) { | skb = can_rx_offload_offload_one(offload, 0); | if (IS_ERR(skb)) | continue; | if (!skb) | break; | ... | } The flexcan driver wrongly always returns ERR_PTR(-ENOBUFS) if drop is requested, even if there is no CAN frame pending. As the i.MX25 is a single core CPU, while the rx-offload processing is active, there is no thread to process packets from the offload queue. So the queue doesn't get any shorter and this results is a tight loop. Instead of always returning ERR_PTR(-ENOBUFS) if drop is requested, return NULL if no CAN frame is pending.
