Hello Vincent,

(Marc, you are now in the "To" as I have a direct question to you.)

Hi Mikhail,

Thanks for your patch. Do you have any plans for CAN error reporting
aside from the bus off? (e.g. can error-active, can error-passive, bit
errors...)

- CAN Control

   - "ip link set up can0" starts the virtual CAN controller,
   - "ip link set up can0" stops the virtual CAN controller

- CAN RX

   Receive CAN frames. CAN frames can be standard or extended, classic or
   CAN FD. Classic CAN RTR frames are supported.

- CAN TX

   Send CAN frames. CAN frames can be standard or extended, classic or
   CAN FD. Classic CAN RTR frames are supported.

- CAN BusOff indication

   CAN BusOff is handled by a bit in the configuration space.

V3:
* Incorporate patch "[PATCH] can: virtio-can: cleanups" from
   https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2flore.kernel.org%2fall%2f20230424%2dfootwear%2ddaily%2d9339bd0ec428%2dmkl%40pengutronix.de%2f&umid=9bd91fe2-cd6c-4f97-823b-3f938eb06afa&auth=53c7c7de28b92dfd96e93d9dd61a23e634d2fbec-17d3c64a4691a4e8987f693a9c0d91fa09fb4a4f
* Add missing can_free_echo_skb()
* Replace home-brewed ID allocator with the standard one from kernel
* Simplify flow control
* Tested with https://github.com/OpenSynergy/qemu/tree/virtio-can-spec-rfc-v3

V2:
* Remove the event indication queue and use the config space instead, to
   indicate a bus off condition
* Rework RX and TX messages having a length field and some more fields for CAN
   EXT
* Fix CAN_EFF_MASK comparison
* Remove MISRA style code (e.g. '! = 0u')
* Remove priorities leftovers
* Remove BUGONs
* Based on virtio can spec RFCv3
* Tested with https://github.com/OpenSynergy/qemu/tree/virtio-can-spec-rfc-v3

This reordering is unrelated to this patch goal. Please send it as a
separate patch.

@Marc Kleine-Budde: We got this reordering change from you. How to proceed? We can split this in 2 commits, reordering and on top adding virtio CAN. No issue, a question of minutes and done. Fine. But here the word "patch" was used, not the word "commit". Sending a separate patch to somewhere? Maybe Mikhail does this fight to get this in (unlikely), I personally would prefer to run away. Or we don't reorder at all, wrong ordering remains and we will not make only you unhappy.

Instead declaring two times an array of 1, can we do:

         struct scatterlist sgs[2];

and then use sgs[0] for out and sgs[1] for in?

Or, if you really want to keep sg_out and sg_in, at least do:

           struct scatterlist sg_out, sg_in;
           struct scatterlist *sgs[] = {&sg_out, &sg_in};

N.B. The same comment also applies to the other places where you are
doing some sg[1] declarations.

Makes thing worse. I'm not even sure whether this is a null change only or introduces a problem.

virtio strictly separates devices readable and device writeable data. Therefore I want really to have here 2 separate definitions. The one is data to the device, the other is data from the device.

If this had any advantage, I could separate the data further. For example I could separate the payload from the preceding data. In this case I had  struct scatterlist sg_out[2]. As long as the payload is small the memcpy for the payload can be justified and [1] is good. In fact, those are still arrays even if by coincident now the number of elements is 1.

ida_alloc_range() can also return -ENOMEM. So the error is not
necessarily because of no putidx available. Maybe better to print the
error message (with %pe to show the mnemotechnic).
%pe does not do that. It works for an error coded in a pointer. I have here an int.

Replace the Magic number 2 with a #define.

Normally I would do this because I also don't like magic constants. But here there is no good speaking name to ease understanding so this brings nothing. If someone does not understand the 2 a lengthy comment was needed to explain the 2.

And this here (seen made by people being tortured by managers with tools) I won't do also to make a tool happy:

Why do we need both VIRTIO_CAN_F_RTR_FRAMES VIRTIO_CAN_FLAGS_RTR?

Is it to manage devices not able to sent remote frames? If so, we may
also need to add a CAN_CTRLMODE_RTR in linux/can/netlink.h?

VIRTIO_CAN_F_RTR_FRAMES is a feature flag. RTR frames may or may not be supported. AUTOSAR CAN drivers do not know anything about RTR frames. So if someone wants to build a virtio CAN device on top of an AUTOSAR CAN driver with the additional requirement not to change the existing AUTOSAR CAN driver RTR frames cannot be supported and the feature flag won't be offered by the virtio device.

VIRTIO_CAN_FLAGS_RTR is a bit to indicate a frame type in a CAN message. Used internally in an Linux SocketCAN interface.

+#define VIRTIO_CAN_RESULT_NOT_OK        1
Silly question, but what is the rationale of not using the error code
from errno.h?
Looked into the AUTOSAR_SWS_StandardTypes.pdf  Std_ReturnType:

E_OK = 0

E_NOT_OK = 1

other are "Available for user specific errors" like CAN_BUSY.

Linux is only one operating system. An important one but there are others. AUTOSAR people may ask you "What is errno.h?" (and also "What is malloc?"). Our internal client is interested in a Virtio AUTOSAR CAN driver. So there were reasons to look first into AUTOSAR.

There is also a CAN_BUSY for the AUTOSAR Can_Write() to be returned but this is not needed at this interface as a virtio AUTOSAR CAN driver was busy when there are no sufficient messages available in the virtqueue, so for this condition we need no defined error code to be used in a virtio message.

Virtio block defines VIRTIO_BLK_S_OK 0, VIRTIO_BLK_S_IOERR 1, VIRTIO_BLK_S_UNSUPP 2.

I do see that some other virtio devices do the same:

   https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2felixir.bootlin.com%2flinux%2fv4.6%2fsource%2finclude%2fuapi%2flinux%2fvirtio%5fnet.h%23L140&umid=9bd91fe2-cd6c-4f97-823b-3f938eb06afa&auth=53c7c7de28b92dfd96e93d9dd61a23e634d2fbec-92b14ac1d1eb12690206c7a0e34d2f211c4c3e06

But I am genuinely curious to understand why virtio do not use more
standard error codes.

I cannot speak for virtio. errno.h is ANSI C and POSIX but virtio does not only address those environments. It is a more general specification.

For the virtio RPMB device the result codes in the virtio specification come for example directly from an JEDEC specification for eMMC. Which has some connection to a JEDEC UFS specification, same result codes there. Makes a lot of sense to use those result codes in this context.

As virtio is more general, I have for this also my doubts whether it really was a good idea to take over the CAN RX and CAN TX message definitions 1:1 from Linux (if this is possible). Someone proposed but I've my doubts.

+       __le32 reserved; /* May be needed in part for CAN XL priority */
Can we use this field to report the classical CAN DLC greater than 8?
If also needed by CAN XL, the field can be turned into a union.

Classical CAN cannot have a DLC > 8. CAN FD has a length up to 64 bytes.

Length is is already __le16 to be able to put the 12 bits of 2048 for CAN XL into it.

But for CAN XL we need anyway a more critical look from CAN XL experts on the list. Here in the house there is already only fewer experience with CAN FD in comparison with classic CAN but none at all with CAN XL. Too new. If something is done in a stupid way we can define in the future completely new messages as we have the msg_type. But if no mistake is made now we can avoid this and enhancing things will be more simple later. The RX and TX messages are really critical. Some bugs in the software can be fixed easily. But if we define here something not future proof this can only be addressed later in the spec with some more effort.
