Losing arbitration is normal in a CAN-bus network, it means that a

to be reported on a normal functioning CAN-bus. So stop counting them
as errors.
Sounds plausible.
For completeness, the Kvaser USB hybra also increments the tx_error
on arbitration lose, but it does so in single shot. Since in that
case the message is not retried, that behaviour is kept.
You mean only in one shot mode?
Yes, well at least the function is called kvaser_usb_hydra_one_shot_fail.
What about one shot mode on the sja1000 cores?
That is a good question. I guess it will be counted as error by:
if (isrc & IRQ_TI) {
/* transmission buffer released */
if (priv->can.ctrlmode & CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT &&
!(status & SR_TCS)) {
stats->tx_errors++;
I can confirm with CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT active and the patch ("can:
sja1000: sja1000_err(): don't count arbitration lose as an error")
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkl/linux-can.git/commit/?h=testing&id=bd0ccb92efb09c7da5b55162b283b42a93539ed7
I now get ONE(!) increment for tx_errors and ONE increment in the
arbitration-lost counter.
Before the above patch I had TWO tx_errors for each arbitration lost case.
can_free_echo_skb(dev, 0);
} else {
/* transmission complete */
stats->tx_bytes +=
priv->read_reg(priv, SJA1000_FI) & 0xf;
stats->tx_packets++;
can_get_echo_skb(dev, 0);
}
netif_wake_queue(dev);
can_led_event(dev, CAN_LED_EVENT_TX);
}
From the datasheet, Transmit Interrupt:
"set; this bit is set whenever the transmit bufferstatus
changes from ‘0-to-1’ (released) and the TIE bit is set
within the interrupt enable register".
I cannot test it though, since I don't have a sja1000.
Do we agree that in one-shot mode both the tx_errors and the
arbitration_lost counters are increased in the arbitration-lost case?
At least this would fit to the Kvaser USB behaviour.
And btw. I wondered if we should remove the check for
CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT here, as we ALWAYS should count a tx_error and
drop the echo_skb when we have a TX-interrupt and TX-complete flag is zero.
So replace:
if (priv->can.ctrlmode & CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT &&
!(status & SR_TCS)) {
with:
if (!(status & SR_TCS)) {
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Oliver
