Subject: [PATCH] [2.6.26] [CAN] Fix can_send() handling on dev_queue_xmit()
 failures

from Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@...tkopp.net>

The tx packet counting and the local loopback of CAN frames should
only happen in the case that the CAN frame has been enqueued to the
netdevice tx queue successfully.

Thanks to Andre Naujoks <nautsch@...il.com> for reporting this issue.

Hello Dave,

this patch should go into 2.6.26 and also applies fine on 2.6.25.1.

IMO this issue is not that 'critical' that it *requires* to become
part of 2.6.25.2. Please forward the patch to Greg at your own opinion.

Many Thanks!
Oliver
