IMO, can_frames in the tx path with CAN_ERR_FLAG should be dropped

Makes sense. The implementation steps could be:
- convert can_dropped_invalid_skb() from static inline to
regular function
- add check for CAN_ERR_FLAG and enabled CAN_CTRLMODE_TX_ERR
to can_dropped_invalid_skb()
Which means the vcan has to support CAN_CTRLMODE_TX_ERR too.
I think it's wrong that CAN_ERR_FLAG messages would appear as regular
frame on CAN, as happens today if I understood well.
ACK
What happens if you send a valid CAN frame with CAN_ERR_FLAG set?
I did not check it but I assume the frame is sent as normal frame and
the echo'ed CAN frame would *only* go through the error message filter
bank in af_can.c.
If CAN_CTRLMODE_TX_ERR has been added to the kernel and
can_dropped_invalid_skb() is updated, then a CAN frame with CAN_ERR_FLAG set
would be either send as an error frame or dropped by can_dropped_invalid_skb().
So it would be echoed only if the driver supports CAN_CTRLMODE_TX_ERR and it's
enabled.
ACK.
So a second time Vincent found a mismatch nobody cared about so far.
Congrats, Vincent!
(no irony here)

This is probably not what we want for 'real' CAN devices, so we might
have to take a look at this too.
