For retrieving the CAN frames from the controller via SPI, it checks once per interrupt which mailboxes have been filled and will retrieve the messages accordingly. This introduces a race condition, as another CAN frame can enter mailbox 1 while mailbox 0 is emptied. If now another CAN frame enters mailbox 0 until the interrupt handler is called next, mailbox 0 is emptied before mailbox 1, leading to out-of-order CAN frames in the network device. This is fixed by checking the interrupt flags once again after freeing mailbox 0, to correctly also empty mailbox 1 before leaving the handler. For reproducing the bug I created the following setup: - Two CAN devices, one Raspberry Pi with MCP2515, the other can be any. - Setup CAN to 1 MHz - Spam bursts of 5 CAN-messages with increasing CAN-ids - Continue sending the bursts while sleeping a second between the bursts - Check on the RPi whether the received messages have increasing CAN-ids - Without this patch, every burst of messages will contain a flipped pair v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220804075914.67569-1-sebastian.wuerl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220804064803.63157-1-sebastian.wuerl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803153300.58732-1-sebastian.wuerl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Fixes: bf66f3736a94 ("can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts instead of workqueues.")
