From: Ciprian Marian Costea <ciprianmarian.costea@oss.nxp.com>
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.

Ciprian Marian Costea
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.

gs_make_candev() ignores the return value of can_rx_offload_add_manual().
Once can_rx_offload's skb_irq_queue is made per-CPU, that call allocates a
per-CPU queue and can fail with -ENOMEM, leaving offload->skb_irq_queue ==
NULL.
Check the return value and exit via the existing free_candev() on error
path.
