Hi Gediminas,
thanks for the information!
I've put info [at] 8devices.com into the recipients list as the Linux
driver has to do the "right thing" when it gets the "Tx URB aborted
(-2)" information.
And so far I did not see anything like this with the old 'white' USB2CAN
adapter with FW 1.7.
As long as we don't know how to react on this new feedback from the USB
device, it is hard to think about a fix ...
Best regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
I remember that in some conditions usb2can began to flood with messages
like this (CANAL_STATUSMSG_xx).
In normal state these messages should be disabled via init string.
I don't have acces to Korlan firmware.
Regards,
Gediminas

Hello Gediminas,
I took a look into the old firmware of the former USB_8DEV adapter
with the white housing which had a CANAL_STATUSMSG_BUSLIGHT (== 0x02)
return value:
https://github.com/krumboeck/usb2can_firmware/blob/master/main.c#L227
Is this the right place to search for the value that is checked in the
kernel here:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.5.1/source/drivers/net/can/usb/usb_8dev.c#L581
??
can0: Tx URB aborted (-2)
At least the status is *only* printed in
usb_8dev_write_bulk_callback() and the echo skb handling is still
performed as there was a zero status (== ok?!?).
Do you have an idea how to proceed with the driver in the case the
user has the newer

device?
Best regards,
Oliver

Seems like to USB2CAN buffer overflow and firmware crashing.

Did you do anything weird (e.g. pulling the USB plug on the run)
to get
this problem?
No, I just connected it to an ECU and started sending messages on the
bus. The behaviour was like if the messages were not acknowledged,
i.e.,
initially, candump on my laptop showed the messages sent, but after
some
time (perhaps after TX buffers were full), candump stopped. I was also
not able to see any messages sent by the ECU (both before and after I
sent my messages).
When I used the same ECU and all the wiring with peak_usb,
communication
with the ECU was without any problems.
I did more investigation - I was able to fix the problem by adding a
terminator resistor to the bus.
However, the problem can be easily reproduced by the following sequence
of commands, when the USB2CAN is not connected to any bus:
ip link set can0 up txqueuelen 1000 type can bitrate 500000
candump can0
cangen -v -g 50 can0
when candump stops printing the messages, run:
ip link set down dev can0
and the warnings appear in dmesg. I was also trying this with latest
mainline kernel, which includes the fix for use-after-free, and the
warnings are still there.
