4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Manfred Schlaegl <manfred.schlaegl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7b12c8189a3dc50638e7d53714c88007268d47ef upstream. This patch revert commit 7da11ba5c506 ("can: dev: __can_get_echo_skb(): print error message, if trying to echo non existing skb") After introduction of this change we encountered following new error message on various i.MX plattforms (flexcan): | flexcan 53fc8000.can can0: __can_get_echo_skb: BUG! Trying to echo non | existing skb: can_priv::echo_skb[0] The introduction of the message was a mistake because priv->echo_skb[idx] = NULL is a perfectly valid in following case: If CAN_RAW_LOOPBACK is disabled (setsockopt) in applications, the pkt_type of the tx skb's given to can_put_echo_skb is set to PACKET_LOOPBACK. In this case can_put_echo_skb will not set priv->echo_skb[idx]. It is therefore kept NULL. As additional argument for revert: The order of check and usage of idx was changed. idx is used to access an array element before checking it's boundaries.
