can_rx_offload keeps a lockless irq_queue that the IRQ handlers fill and
that is later spliced under skb_queue.lock into the NAPI-facing skb_queue.
This works as long as a single context fills the irq_queue. flexcan with
FLEXCAN_QUIRK_SECONDARY_MB_IRQ and mcf5441x use two mailbox IRQ lines. When
those are affined to different CPUs the two handlers can enqueue into the
same list at the same time and corrupt it.
This series:
1. Makes the irq_queue per-CPU so the handlers no longer share a list.
2. Fixes at91_can rx-offload teardown.
Changes since v2:
- at91_can: also add can_rx_offload_del() on the register_candev() error
path and check the can_rx_offload_add_timestamp() return value.
Changes since v1:
- The enqueue helpers used this_cpu_ptr() without disabling preemption.
All four enqueue helpers now use get_cpu_ptr()/put_cpu_ptr().
- Guard can_rx_offload_del() against skb_irq_queue == NULL.
- Fix 'at91_can' memory leak by adding missing 'can_rx_offload_del'.

skb_irq_queue is filled by the IRQ handlers using the lockless
__skb_queue_add_sort() / __skb_queue_tail() helpers and later spliced
into skb_queue under skb_queue.lock by can_rx_offload_irq_finish() and
can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish().
This is only safe while a single context fills skb_irq_queue. FlexCAN
on NXP S32G2 (FLEXCAN_QUIRK_SECONDARY_MB_IRQ) uses two mailbox IRQ
lines, one for MB0-7 and one for MB8-63; MCF5441X similarly splits its
mailbox interrupt. When these lines are affined to different CPUs both
handlers can run at the same time and enqueue into the same sk_buff_head
concurrently, corrupting its list.
Allocate skb_irq_queue per-CPU so the handlers no longer share a list,
keeping the enqueue path lock-free. Access the per-CPU queue via
get_cpu_ptr()/put_cpu_ptr() in the enqueue helpers: this disables
preemption around the lockless __skb_queue_*() operation.
can_rx_offload_irq_finish() runs in the same context as its enqueues and
splices this_cpu_ptr(). can_rx_offload_threaded_irq_finish() may have
been migrated after its enqueues, so it splices every possible CPU's
queue; this is safe because each per-CPU queue has a single producer and
that producer runs with preemption disabled, so it cannot race the
splice.
Cross-line frames are now sorted by timestamp only within a CPU's queue
and appended across CPUs on splice; each skb keeps its own timestamp.

From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com>
Making can_rx_offload's skb_irq_queue per-CPU (previous patch) adds an
alloc_percpu() to can_rx_offload_add_*(). That allocation has to be freed
on teardown and can fail with -ENOMEM, which exposes three problems in
at91_can:
- at91_can_remove() does not call can_rx_offload_del(), so the NAPI
instance and the per-CPU queues are leaked on unbind and module removal.
- The probe error path after a failed register_candev() jumps straight to
free_candev() without can_rx_offload_del() and leaks the same objects.
- The return value of can_rx_offload_add_timestamp() is ignored. It can now
return -ENOMEM with offload->skb_irq_queue == NULL, probe still succeeds,
and the first RX interrupt dereferences that NULL pointer in
can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() via get_cpu_ptr().
Check the return value and call can_rx_offload_del() from at91_can_remove()
and from a new error label taken when register_candev() fails.
