I think the comment > refers to improving the way the driver informs this error to the user > but I may be wrong. > Since we have no detail of what went wrong here, I suggested CAN_ERR_CRTL_UNSPEC as it is "unspecified error", to be coupled with a controller error with id CAN_ERR_CRTL; however, a different error might be more appropriate. For sure, at least in my experience, having a warn printed to kmsg is *not* enough, as the application sending the message(s) would not be able to detect the error. > > For sure, counting the known errors as valid tx_packets and tx_bytes > > is misleading. > > > > I'll remove the counters below. > We don't really know what's wrong here - the packet might have been sent and and then not ACK'ed, as well as any other error condition (as it happens in the reference implementation from the original authors [1]). Echoing the packet only "to bring a waiting process in an upper layer to an end" and incrementing counters feels wrong, but maybe someone more expert than me can advise better here.
