The mcp251x driver uses both receiving mailboxes of the CAN controller chips. For retrieving the CAN frames from the controller via SPI, it checks once per interrupt which mailboxes have been filled and will retrieve the messages accordingly. This introduces a race condition, as another CAN frame can enter mailbox 1 while mailbox 0 is emptied. If now another CAN frame enters mailbox 0 until the interrupt handler is called next, mailbox 0 is emptied before mailbox 1, leading to out-of-order CAN frames in the network device. This is fixed by checking the interrupt flags once again after freeing mailbox 0, to correctly also empty mailbox 1 before leaving the handler. For reproducing the bug I created the following setup: - Two CAN devices, one Raspberry Pi with MCP2515, the other can be any. - Setup CAN to 1 MHz - Spam bursts of 5 CAN-messages with increasing CAN-ids - Continue sending the bursts while sleeping a second between the bursts - Check on the RPi whether the received messages have increasing CAN-ids - Without this patch, every burst of messages will contain a flipped pair v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220804075914.67569-1-sebastian.wuerl@ororatech.com v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220804064803.63157-1-sebastian.wuerl@ororatech.com v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220803153300.58732-1-sebastian.wuerl@ororatech.com Fixes: bf66f3736a94 ("can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts instead of workqueues.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
