commit 32852c561bffd613d4ed7ec464b1e03e1b7b6c5c upstream.
If the device gets into a state where RXNEMP (RX FIFO not empty)
interrupt is asserted without RXOK (new frame received successfully)
interrupt being asserted, xcan_rx_poll() will continue to try to clear
RXNEMP without actually reading frames from RX FIFO. If the RX FIFO is
not empty, the interrupt will not be cleared and napi_schedule() will
just be called again.
This situation can occur when:
(a) xcan_rx() returns without reading RX FIFO due to an error condition.
The code tries to clear both RXOK and RXNEMP but RXNEMP will not clear
due to a frame still being in the FIFO. The frame will never be read
from the FIFO as RXOK is no longer set.
(b) A frame is received between xcan_rx_poll() reading interrupt status
and clearing RXOK. RXOK will be cleared, but RXNEMP will again remain
set as the new message is still in the FIFO.
I'm able to trigger case (b) by flooding the bus with frames under load.
There does not seem to be any benefit in using both RXNEMP and RXOK in
the way the driver does, and the polling example in the reference manual
(UG585 v1.10 18.3.7 Read Messages from RxFIFO) also says that either
RXOK or RXNEMP can be used for detecting incoming messages.
Fix the issue and simplify the RX processing by only using RXNEMP
without RXOK.
Tested with the integrated CAN on Zynq-7000 SoC.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
