Subject: [PATCH] can: raw: instantly reject unsupported CAN frames
Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2025 19:51:52 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111185152.23193-1-socketcan@hartkopp.net> (raw)
For real CAN interfaces the CAN_CTRLMODE_FD and CAN_CTRLMODE_XL control
modes indicate whether an interface can handle those CAN FD/XL frames.
In the case a CAN XL interface is configured in CANXL-only mode with
disabled error-signalling neither CAN CC nor CAN FD frames can be sent.
The checks are performed on CAN_RAW sockets to give an instant feedback
to the user when writing unsupported CAN frames to the interface.
