No problem, just wanted to be sure :)

Does the current net-next lead to fewer lost frames than your original
kernel? I mean does it make the situation better?

Yes, I assume the same problem.

I don't think it can be done with tuning. To work around this problem,
you can convert the c_can driver to the rx-offload infrastructure. You
do the RX from the CAN HW in the IRQ handler, but pass it to the
networking stack in NAPI. This dance is needed, as otherwise the
networking stack messes up the order of received CAN frames.

There even is an old branch that implemented that, but was never merged:
