Re: 6.19.0-rc6 CAN regression

If you can't apply the fix or you want to stay on the 6.19-rc6 upstream kernel, it is also possible to make a workaround with the "ip" tool you use for the bitrate configuration.

The issued does not show up, when the ctrlmode is changed(!), e.g. when you enable triple-sampling, one-shot or cc-len8-dlc mode:

Instead of

# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000

try

# ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 cc-len8-dlc on

But the fix will be in the mainline repo soon.

Best regards,
Oliver

Hello,
there is some issue with CAN on the latest linux 6.19 RC,
canfdtest fails with `send failed: Invalid argument` fails on various
SoC (NXP i.MX8MP, i.MX8QM, i.MX6 ... and TI AM62 and maybe more).

Is this known and already being addressed? I have seen some recent PR
and patches, but I am not sure they are fixing this issue.

Yes, this is already fixed here:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkl/linux-can.git/log/? h=testing

in this patch:
"can: dev: alloc_candev_mqs(): add missing default CAN capabilities"

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mkl/linux-can.git/ commit/?h=testing&id=375629c92fd842bc2a229bb34c4453f62e097169

The PR is waiting for upstream:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/20260116200323.366877-1- mkl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

When you apply the above patch, it should just work again.

Best regards,
Oliver
