Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 09/13] can: pruss CAN driver.

Hi,

I looked a bit at the TX path:

You should not have enabled CAN_CTRLMODE_3_SAMPLES in the first place?

I wonder how much of this code is duplicated from drivers/net/can/dev.c ?
SG - Well, I just followed ti_hecc.c :-)

most drivers start with:
if (can_dropped_invalid_skb(dev, skb))
return NETDEV_TX_OK;

SG - Will do.

+ netif_stop_queue(ndev);
why would you stop when you just resumed the queue?

SG - I do not want more than one transmit request at one time. Hence, on entering the transmit
I am using netif_stop_queue to disable tx.

If you get here, the queue is not stopped. This test is therefore useless.

you can call netif_wake_queue(ndev) multiple times, so there is no need
for netif_queue_stopped()

you're doing a lot of work _in_ the irq handler. Maybe threaded irq?

SG -Ok, will do

+static int omapl_pru_can_close(struct net_device *ndev)
+{
+ struct omapl_pru_can_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
+
+ if (!netif_queue_stopped(ndev))
check is not needed.

SG -Ok, will remove

+ netif_stop_queue(ndev);
+
+ close_candev(ndev);
+
+ free_irq(priv->trx_irq, ndev);
+ return 0;
+}
+
