    can: at91_can: switch to rx-offload implementation · 137f59d5
    Marc Kleine-Budde authored
    The current at91_can driver uses NAPI to handle RX'ed CAN frames, the
    RX IRQ is disabled and a NAPI poll is scheduled. Then in
    at91_poll_rx() the RX'ed CAN frames are tried to read in order from
    the device.
    
    This approach has 2 drawbacks:
    
    - Under high system load it might take too long from the initial RX
      IRQ to the NAPI poll function to run. This causes RX buffer
      overflows.
    - The algorithm to read the CAN frames in order is not bullet proof
      and may fail under certain use cases/system loads.
    
    The rx-offload helper fixes these problems by reading the RX'ed CAN
    frames in the interrupt handler and adding it to a list sorted by RX
    timestamp. This list of RX'ed SKBs is then passed to the networking
    stack via NAPI.
    
    Convert the RX path to rx-offload, pass all CAN error frames with
    can_rx_offload_queue_timestamp().
