Hi Nicolas,

thanks for the patch!

No. You are writing to a read-only skbuff, which is not yet cloned or 
copied. The read-only handling of the skb is done in the NET_RX_SOFTIRQ 
triggering can_rcv_filter() and friends.

See this note:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.7/source/net/can/af_can.c#L430

When you are also changing the CAN frames' content you need to 
skb_copy() the provided skb, see:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.7/source/net/can/gw.c#L504

So if you want to pass these new flags to the user space you should 
think of extending the parameter list of bcm_rx_update_and_send() and 
bcm_rx_cmp_to_index().

But in the first place I'm interested to know what the use-case for this 
extension is.

Best regards,
Oliver
