commit 481a8199142c050b72bff8a1956a49fd0a75bbe0 upstream.

When using nanosleep() in an userspace application we get a ratelimit warning

NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08

for 10 times.

The echo of CAN frames is done from process context and softirq context only.
Therefore the usage of netif_rx() was wrong (for years).

This patch replaces netif_rx() with netif_rx_ni() which has to be used from
process/softirq context. It also adds a missing comment that can_send() must
no be used from hardirq context.

This module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier()
on module unload.

<title>can: Network Drop Monitor: Make use of consume_skb() in af_can.c</title>

<id>62bcaa13039538c7f794b0cfcbc26e0313e7fcd5</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit ead2ceb0ec9f85cff19c43b5cdb2f8a054484431 ("Network Drop
Monitor: Adding kfree_skb_clean for non-drops and modifying
end-of-line points for skbs") so called end-of-line points for skb's
should use consume_skb() to free the socket buffer.

In opposite to consume_skb() the function kfree_skb() is intended to
be used for unexpected skb drops e.g. in error conditions that now can
trigger the network drop monitor if enabled.

This patch moves the skb end-of-line point in af_can.c to use
consume_skb().

The AF_CAN core delivered always cloned sk_buffs to the AF_CAN
protocols, although this was _only_ needed by the can-raw protocol.
With this (additionally documented) change, the AF_CAN core calls the
callback functions of the registered AF_CAN protocols with the original
(uncloned) sk_buff pointer and let's the can-raw protocol do the
skb_clone() itself which omits all unneeded skb_clone() calls for other
AF_CAN protocols.

Since commit d253eee20195b25e298bf162a6e72f14bf4803e5 the single CAN
identifier filter lists handle only non-RTR CAN frames.

So we need to omit the check of these filter lists when receiving RTR
CAN frames.

<title>can: Fix CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG handling in can_filter</title>

<id>d253eee20195b25e298bf162a6e72f14bf4803e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter
for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the
same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also.

This fix has a minimum (but user visible) impact on the CAN filter
API and therefore the CAN version is set to a new date.

Indeed the 'old' API is still working as-is. But when now setting
CAN_(EFF|RTR)_FLAG in can_filter.can_mask you might get less traffic
than before - but still the stuff that you expected to get for your
defined filter ...

Thanks to Kurt Van Dijck for pointing at this issue and for the review.
