The raw.c changes have become very easy to review since the introduction of the vcid element - no hurry ;-)


Question: do you think this should also go to stable?


I would have no objections, but I'm not sure whether we can convince the stable maintainers to change the UAPI and slightly extend the ABI in stable kernels? Let's see.

More a matter of principle, but you should

   #include <asm/byteorder.h>

c.f. https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/uapi/linux/ip.h#L22

Yes. I already prepared this change for the next patch cycle yesterday:

Now that prio is a __u16, the CAN_*_FLAG flags fall outside prio width
(in __res0 as you mentioned below). So I would rather remove the
latter part of this sentence. You may instead specify that bits
outside of the CANXL_PRIO_MASK shall be zeroed.

Right. Will change that.

+ * @vcid:   virtual CAN network identifier

Maybe say that this field is valid only if enabled through
CAN_RAW_XL_VCID_OPTS, else should be zero.

No. This is a data structure definition and not the CAN_RAW socket documentation. But it has definitely to be mentioned somewhere.

- * @prio shares the same position as @can_id from struct can[fd]_frame.
+ * @prio shares the lower 16 bits of @can_id from struct can[fd]_frame.
+ * @__res0 holds the @can_id flags CAN_xxx_FLAG and has to be set to zero

Just realized now, but I would have personally preferred to merge
those two sentences within their respective field documentation. Just
feels odd to me to have the information on the prio and __res0 field
are scattered in two different locations. Well this is just a nitpick,
at the end, just choose which one seems good to you.

Ok. I always tried to get only one line for the element description. But this could be changed. No problem.

+struct can_raw_vcid_options {
+
+       __u8 flags;             /* flags for vcid (filter) behaviour */
+       __u8 tx_vcid;           /* VCID value set into canxl_frame.prio */
+       __u8 rx_vcid;           /* VCID value for VCID filter */
+       __u8 rx_vcid_mask;      /* VCID mask for VCID filter */
+

Why the newlines before and after the struct members? This style is
not consistent with the other CAN headers.

Ok. Will remove them.

         /* check for correct padding to be able to use the structs similarly */
         BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct can_frame, len) !=
                      offsetof(struct canfd_frame, len) ||
+                    offsetof(struct can_frame, len) !=
+                    offsetof(struct canxl_frame, flags) ||
                      offsetof(struct can_frame, data) !=
                      offsetof(struct canfd_frame, data));

Nitpick: I would expect to see the code structured in this order:
check Classical CAN first, then CAN-FD and finally CAN-XL. Not sure
why the CAN-XL is in the middle. If the only reason is to minimize the
patch diff, then no.

The reason is to check the offset to struct can_frame.len - so all these checks are sorted by the first element to be checked.

Thanks for the feedback!
