After an initial link up the CAN device is in ERROR-ACTIVE mode. Due to a missing CAN_STATE_STOPPED in gs_can_close() it doesn't change to STOPPED after a link down: | ip link set dev can0 up | ip link set dev can0 down | ip --details link show can0 | 13: can0: <NOARP,ECHO> mtu 16 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 10 | link/can promiscuity 0 allmulti 0 minmtu 0 maxmtu 0 | can state ERROR-ACTIVE restart-ms 1000 Add missing assignment of CAN_STATE_STOPPED in gs_can_close().
