[ Upstream commit 1f7f504dcd9d1262437bdcf4fa071e41dec1af03 ] In case of a resource shortage, i.e. the rx_offload queue will overflow or a skb fails to be allocated (due to OOM), can_rx_offload_offload_one() will call mailbox_read() to discard the mailbox and return an ERR_PTR. If the hardware FIFO is empty can_rx_offload_offload_one() will return NULL. In case a CAN frame was read from the hardware, can_rx_offload_offload_one() returns the skb containing it. Without this patch can_rx_offload_irq_offload_fifo() bails out if no skb returned, regardless of the reason. Similar to can_rx_offload_irq_offload_timestamp() in case of a resource shortage the whole FIFO should be discarded, to avoid an IRQ storm and give the system some time to recover. However if the FIFO is empty the loop can be left. With this patch the loop is left in case of empty FIFO, but not on errors.

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.
