I did some tests: * Applied the patch * Modified my driver * Modified drivers/net/can/dev.c:can_changelink() to force the CAN_CTRLMODE_CC_LEN8_DLC on (this is just me being lazy to do it from userland). * Modified cansend and candump from can-utils to be able to respectively send and print DLCs greater than 8. * Set up two channels can0 and can1 and connected those to the same bus. * Ran 'cangen can0' and 'candump any' simultaneously. Results of candump: can0 539 [8] 05 21 8C 5C F7 B0 7C 69 can1 539 [8] 05 21 8C 5C F7 B0 7C 69 can0 47E [1] 53 can1 47E [1] 53 can0 317 [6] E5 00 B5 73 66 CF can1 317 [6] E5 00 B5 73 66 CF can0 524 [E] 64 C3 B0 6E 55 7A D7 2E can1 524 [E] 64 C3 B0 6E 55 7A D7 2E can0 39C [D] 63 18 96 69 F6 7A AB 36 can1 39C [D] 63 18 96 69 F6 7A AB 36 can0 60D [F] F2 C6 B6 1D 80 FB BC 7E can1 60D [F] F2 C6 B6 1D 80 FB BC 7E can0 5DD [9] 7E 55 56 5B C0 23 B0 53 can1 5DD [9] 7E 55 56 5B C0 23 B0 53 can0 573 [E] 20 8E A3 31 1B 54 B2 16 can1 573 [E] 20 8E A3 31 1B 54 B2 16 can0 470 [3] 31 9C 06 can1 470 [3] 31 9C 06 can0 465 [4] 93 75 A2 08 can1 465 [4] 93 75 A2 08 Works fine :-) Thanks Oliver!
