[patch 17/37] can: Fix can_send() handling on dev_queue_xmit()failures

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue May 13 2008 - 16:19:11 EST


2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

------------------
From: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit: c2ab7ac225e29006b7117d6a9fe8f3be8d98b0c2 ]

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@xxxxxxxxx> for reporting this issue.
