Subject: [PATCH v6 0/4] report the controller capabilities through the netlink interface

The main purpose of this series is to report the CAN controller
capabilities. The proposed method reuses the existing struct
can_ctrlmode and thus do not need a new IFLA_CAN_* entry.

While doing so, I also realized that can_priv::ctrlmode_static could
actually be derived from the other ctrlmode fields. So I added three
extra patches to the series: one to replace that field with a
function, one to add a safeguard on can_set_static_ctrlmode() and one
to repack struct can_priv and fill the hole created after removing
can_priv::ctrlmode_priv.

Please note that the first three patches are not required by the
fourth one. I am just grouping everything in the same series because
the patches all revolve around the controller modes.


** Changelog **

v5 -> v6:

- Add back patches 1, 2 and 3 because those were removed from the
testing branch of linux-can-next since.

- Rebase the series on the latest version of net-next.

- Fix a typo in the comments of the forth patch: guaruanty ->
guaranty.

v4 -> v5:

- Implement IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT in order to fix forward
compatibility issues as suggested by Marc in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/[email protected]/T/#m78118c94072083a6f8d2f0f769b120f847ac1384

v3 -> v4:

- Tag the union in struct can_ctrlmode as packed.

- Remove patch 1, 2 and 3 from the series because those were already
added to the testing branch of linux-can-next (and no changes
occurred on those first three patches).

v2 -> v3:

- Make can_set_static_ctrlmode() return an error and adjust the
drivers which use this helper function accordingly.

v1 -> v2:

- Add a first patch to replace can_priv::ctrlmode_static by the
inline function can_get_static_ctrlmode()

- Add a second patch to reorder the fields of struct can_priv for
better packing (save eight bytes on x86_64 \o/)

- Rewrite the comments of the third patch "can: netlink: report the
CAN controller mode supported flags" (no changes on the code
itself).

Vincent Mailhol (4):
can: dev: replace can_priv::ctrlmode_static by
can_get_static_ctrlmode()
can: dev: add sanity check in can_set_static_ctrlmode()
can: dev: reorder struct can_priv members for better packing
can: netlink: report the CAN controller mode supported flags

Subject: [PATCH v6 1/4] can: dev: replace can_priv::ctrlmode_static by can_get_static_ctrlmode()

The statically enabled features of a CAN controller can be retrieved
using below formula:

| u32 ctrlmode_static = priv->ctrlmode & ~priv->ctrlmode_supported;

As such, there is no need to store this information. This patch remove
the field ctrlmode_static of struct can_priv and provides, in
replacement, the inline function can_get_static_ctrlmode() which
returns the same value.

Subject: [PATCH v6 2/4] can: dev: add sanity check in can_set_static_ctrlmode()

Previous patch removed can_priv::ctrlmode_static to replace it with
can_get_static_ctrlmode().

A condition sine qua non for this to work is that the controller
static modes should never be set in can_priv::ctrlmode_supported
(c.f. the comment on can_priv::ctrlmode_supported which states that it
is for "options that can be *modified* by netlink"). Also, this
condition is already correctly fulfilled by all existing drivers
which rely on the ctrlmode_static feature.

Nonetheless, we added an extra safeguard in can_set_static_ctrlmode()
to return an error value and to warn the developer who would be
adventurous enough to set to static a given feature that is already
set to supported.

The drivers which rely on the static controller mode are then updated
to check the return value of can_set_static_ctrlmode().

Some few comments on how the rcar_canfd and m_can drivers free their
allocated resources when an error occurs during probing.

The function rcar_canfd_channel_probe() is quite inconsistent with the
way it handles errors. After the call to alloc_candev, there are
several "goto fail" statements that would directly exit without
calling free_candev()!

Nonetheless, later on the driver will check the return value of
rcar_canfd_channel_probe() and call rcar_canfd_channel_remove() which
will correctly call free_candev(). Even if this is inconsistent, there
is no sign of a memory leak. So I just applied the change the
can_set_static_ctrlmode() without bothering more (N.B. I do not own
that device so I am not willing to take the risk of making bigger
changes because I can not test).

On the other hand, m_can_dev_setup() is fine: the return value is
checked by the caller and necessary actions are taken.

As such, for both driver, we did a minimal change.

Subject: [PATCH v6 4/4] can: netlink: report the CAN controller mode supported flags

Currently, the CAN netlink interface provides no easy ways to check
the capabilities of a given controller. The only method from the
command line is to try each CAN_CTRLMODE_* individually to check
whether the netlink interface returns an -EOPNOTSUPP error or not
(alternatively, one may find it easier to directly check the source
code of the driver instead...)

This patch introduces a method for the user to check both the
supported and the static capabilities. The proposed method introduces
a new IFLA nest: IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT which extends the current
IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE. This is done to guaranty a full forward and
backward compatibility between the kernel and the user land
applications.

The IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT nest contains one single entry:
IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_SUPPORTED. Because this entry is only used in one
direction: kernel to userland, no new struct nla_policy are
introduced.

Below table explains how IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_SUPPORTED (hereafter:
"supported") and can_ctrlmode::flags (hereafter: "flags") allow us to
identify both the supported and the static capabilities, when masked
with any of the CAN_CTRLMODE_* bit flags:

supported & flags & Controller capabilities
CAN_CTRLMODE_* CAN_CTRLMODE_*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
false false Feature not supported (always disabled)
false true Static feature (always enabled)
true false Feature supported but disabled
true true Feature supported and enabled

I forgot to update this part of the cover letter since v4.
This paragraph is outdated and should now be:

| The main purpose of this series is to report the CAN controller
| capabilities. To do so, a new IFLA_CAN_* entry is
| added: IFLA_CAN_CTRLMODE_EXT. This is done to guarantee forward
| and backward compatibility in the netlink interface.

N.B. I do not plan to send a v7 because the patch descriptions
are correct (only the cover letter was outdated).
