Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next-2.6] can: deny filterlist access on non-CAN interfaces

Hello Dave,

are you fine with this fix or are you just waiting for Wolfgangs ACK?

As this is networklayer stuff in net/can and not in drivers/net/can you won't
get any ACK from Wolfgang, as i'm the maintainer for that ;-)

If it makes is more clearly i would suggest to name my networklayer patches with

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net/can: ...

instead of

[PATCH net-next-2.6] can: ...

in the future. Would this be ok for you?

Thanks & best regards,
Oliver

In commit 20dd3850bcf860561496827b711fa10fecf6e787 "can: Speed up CAN frame
receiption by using ml_priv" the formerly used hlist of receiver lists for
each CAN netdevice has been replaced.

The hlist content ensured only CAN netdevices to be accessed by the
can_rx_(un)register() functions which accidently dropped away together with
the hlist receiver implementation.

This patch re-introduces the check for CAN netdevices in can_rx_(un)register().
