Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/3] can: mscan: fix improper return if dlc < 8 in start_xmit function
Date: Thu,  7 Jan 2010 20:43:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1262893388-16218-2-git-send-email-wg@grandegger.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1262893388-16218-1-git-send-email-wg@grandegger.com>

From: Wolfgang Grandegger <wg@denx.de>

The start_xmit function of the MSCAN Driver did return improperly if
the CAN dlc check failed (skb not freed and invalid return code). This
patch adds a proper check of the frame lenght and data size and returns
now correctly. The invalid skb packets are dropped silently as suggested
by David Miller in the thread "[RFC] ndo_validate_skb: Let the netdev
check a valid skb content" on the netdev mailing list.

Furthermore, a typo has been fixed.
