From: Jeroen Hofstee <jhofstee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In case of a resource shortage, i.e. the rx_offload queue will overflow or a skb fails to be allocated (due to OOM), can_rx_offload_offload_one() will call mailbox_read() to discard the mailbox and return an ERR_PTR. However can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() bails out in the error case. In case of a resource shortage all mailboxes should be discarded, to avoid an IRQ storm and give the system some time to recover. Since can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() is typically called from a while loop, all message will eventually be discarded. So let's continue on error instead to discard them directly.
