can: add CAN skb extension infrastructure

2026-02-05T10:58:39Z

To remove the private CAN bus skb headroom infrastructure 8 bytes need to be stored in the skb. The skb extensions are a common pattern and an easy and efficient way to hold private data travelling along with the skb. We only need the skb_ext_add() and skb_ext_find() functions to allocate and access CAN specific content as the skb helpers to copy/clone/free skbs automatically take care of skb extensions and their final removal. This patch introduces the complete CAN skb extensions infrastructure: - add struct can_skb_ext in new file include/net/can.h - add include/net/can.h in MAINTAINERS - add SKB_EXT_CAN to skbuff.c and skbuff.h - select SKB_EXTENSIONS in Kconfig when CONFIG_CAN is enabled - check for existing CAN skb extensions in can_rcv() in af_can.c - add CAN skb extensions allocation at every skb_alloc() location - duplicate the skb extensions if cloning outgoing skbs (framelen/gw_hops) - introduce can_skb_ext_add() and can_skb_ext_find() helpers The patch also corrects an indention issue in the original code from 2018: Reported-by: kernel test robot Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202602010426.PnGrYAk3-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260201-can_skb_ext-v8-2-3635d790fe8b@hartkopp.net Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

can: fix build dependency

2025-12-10T08:19:34Z

A recent bugfix introduced a new problem with Kconfig dependencies: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CAN_DEV Depends on [n]: NETDEVICES [=n] && CAN [=m] Selected by [m]: - CAN [=m] && NET [=y] Since the CAN core code now links into the CAN device code, that particular function needs to be available, though the rest of it does not. Revert the incomplete fix and instead use Makefile logic to avoid the link failure.

can: Kconfig: select CAN driver infrastructure by default

2025-11-29T12:37:12Z

The CAN bus support enabled with CONFIG_CAN provides a socket-based access to CAN interfaces. With the introduction of the latest CAN protocol CAN XL additional configuration status information needs to be exposed to the network layer than formerly provided by standard Linux network drivers. This requires the CAN driver infrastructure to be selected by default. As the CAN network layer can only operate on CAN interfaces anyway all distributions and common default configs enable at least one CAN driver. So selecting CONFIG_CAN_DEV when CONFIG_CAN is selected by the user has no effect on established configurations but solves potential build issues when CONFIG_CAN[_XXX]=y is set together with CANFIG_CAN_DEV=m Fixes: 1a620a723853 ("can: raw: instantly reject unsupported CAN frames") Reported-by: Vincent Mailhol Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAMZ6RqL_nGszwoLPXn1Li8op-ox4k3Hs6p=Hw6+w0W=DTtobPw@mail.gmail.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511280531.YnWW2Rxc-lkp@intel.com/ Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511280842.djCQ0N0O-lkp@intel.com/ Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511282325.uVQFRTkA-lkp@intel.com/ Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511291520.guIE1QHj-lkp@intel.com/ Suggested-by: Marc Kleine-Budde Signed-off-by: Oliver Hartkopp Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251129090500.17484-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde

net: Kconfig: move the CAN device menu to the "Device Drivers" section

2022-06-11T15:11:02Z

The devices are meant to be under the "Device Drivers" category of the menuconfig. The CAN subsystem is currently one of the rare exception with all of its devices under the "Networking support" category. The CAN_DEV menuentry gets moved to fix this discrepancy. The CAN menu is added just before MCTP in order to be consistent with the current order under the "Networking support" menu. A dependency on CAN is added to CAN_DEV so that the CAN devices only show up if the CAN subsystem is enabled.

The help text for the CAN_ISOTP config symbol uses the acronym "PDU". However, this acronym is not explained here, nor in Documentation/networking/can.rst. Expand the acronym to make it easier for users to decide if they need to enable the CAN_ISOTP option or not.

can: add ISO 15765-2:2016 transport protocol

2020-10-07T21:18:33Z

CAN Transport Protocols offer support for segmented Point-to-Point communication between CAN nodes via two defined CAN Identifiers. As CAN frames can only transport a small amount of data bytes (max. 8 bytes for 'classic' CAN and max. 64 bytes for CAN FD) this segmentation is needed to transport longer PDUs as needed e.g. for vehicle diagnosis (UDS, ISO 14229) or IP-over-CAN traffic. This protocol driver implements data transfers according to ISO 15765-2:2016 for 'classic' CAN and CAN FD frame types.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21Z

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada
