Oleksij Rempel 4ac1feff6e net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the struct net_device
[ Upstream commit 4e096a18867a5a989b510f6999d9c6b6622e8f7b ]

Since 20dd3850bc ("can: Speed up CAN frame receiption by using
ml_priv") the CAN framework uses per device specific data in the AF_CAN
protocol. For this purpose the struct net_device->ml_priv is used. Later
the ml_priv usage in CAN was extended for other users, one of them being
CAN_J1939.

Later in the kernel ml_priv was converted to an union, used by other
drivers. E.g. the tun driver started storing it's stats pointer.

Since tun devices can claim to be a CAN device, CAN specific protocols
will wrongly interpret this pointer, which will cause system crashes.
Mostly this issue is visible in the CAN_J1939 stack.

To fix this issue, we request a dedicated CAN pointer within the
net_device struct.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
