Major changes:
- rework internal structures to prepare routings and modifications of CAN traffic also to non-CAN interfaces
- fix reading of netlink messages in cangw.c (added RTCAN_RTA / RTCAN_PAYLOAD macros)
- rework reading of gw-job lists in cgw_dump_jobs()
- rename of functions and API definitions to have a common namespace cgw_
- added infrastructure to perform crc8 and xor checksums in CAN frame data[]
TODO:
- add and test functionality for crc8 and xor checksums in CAN frame data[]
- add help text for crc8 and xor checksums in CAN frame data[]
repository. Building with exported headers from an unpatched kernel will
fail due to missing symbols or headers.
This patch adds two make variables to optionally disable building such
binaries, like this:
make PROGRAMS_ISOTP= PROGRAMS_CANGW= PROGRAMS_SLCAN= all

TODO (in both cangw and can-gw.ko) : Support removal and listing of rules.
So far the gateway jobs are only removed on can-gw.ko module unload or when
the used CAN netdevices disappear.

This is done by using recvmsg() instead of recvfrom() to allow the timestamp
and the dropcounter to be received within one syscall.
When the application (here 'candump') ist not fast enough to process the
incomming CAN frames the frames are dropped in the socket receive queue.
When this happens and '-d' is set, we get this info now:
DROPCOUNT: dropped 1 CAN frame on 'xxx' socket (total drops 1)
Moved conversions into separate functions can2pty() and pty2can().
Updated and enhanced some comments.
Variable name cleanups inside the separate functions.
Fix handling on wrong pty commands (was a wrong 'continue' statement).
creates a pty for applications using the slcan ASCII protocol and
converts the data to a CAN network interface (and vice versa).
This can be used for existing applications to run on SocketCAN.
Due to a wrong safety check in af_can.c it was not possible to filter
for SFF frames with a specific CAN identifier without getting the
same selected CAN identifier from a received EFF frame also.
This fix has a minimum impact on the CAN filter API as the 'sloppy'
handling is still a correct (and possibly wanted?) use-case.
Please update the can-utils (especially candump) whose filter definition
on the commandline made assumptions to correct the user input that are
probably unwanted now.
Thanks to Kurt van Dijck for pointing at this issue!

<linux/tty.h> anyway but needs to be written as module alias
tty-ldisc-17 slcan
So we remove the annoying #error output and use the correctly defined
'17' from Kernel 2.6.25+ as default.
Everything without a '(' at the beginning of an input line is treated as comment.
Changed buffer size to allow long comment lines & added overflow handling.
Most SocketCAN userspace tools (like cansend) recognize the EFF by the
stringlength of the given CAN-ID: 3 -> SFF , 8 -> EFF.
This was missing in the candump filter definition and therefore the
values had to be specified with the CAN_EFF_FLAG set in the value, e.g.
92345678 for the extended CAN-ID 12345678 - this was not really nice.
Now the filtersets for extended frames can be specified as expected:
12345678:1FFFFFFF to filter for only 12345678 extended CAN-ID
000000AA:1FFFFFFF to filter for only AA extended CAN-ID.
unsigned char asc2nibble(char c);
int hexstring2candata(char *arg, struct can_frame *cf);
(see documentation in lib.h)
As prerequsite to fix the commandline interface of cangen.
is very nice when you don't have a RTC and your systemtime is somewhere
in the 1970's :)
Added a new commandline option to skip timestamp jumps greater than x
seconds to allow to concatenate different logfiles that replay
constantly and not waiting for the absolute timestamp offsets.
via serial (or quasi serial via USB) lines.
This driver is partly derived from linux/net/driver/slip.c and uses a new
tty line discipline (N_SLCAN) analogue to N_SLIP to encapsulate can_frames
sent to a slc* netdevice for the serial line and vice versa.
As only the sending and receiving of can_frames is implemented, this driver
should work with the (serial/USB) CAN hardware from:
> www.canusb.com / www.can232.com / www.mictronic.com / www.canhack.de <
The sending and receiving frames format is pretty common. The other settings
and the 'open' command 'O' of the specific adapters may be set with a
terminal programm (like minicom) before switching the CAN data stream to
the slc* netdevice using the slcan_attach userspace tool.
Feel free to send patches / extensions to slcan.c / slcan_attach.c :)
ps. There had been no performances measurements until now. As long as the
data fit's through the 'serial' line it works obviously well. The slcan-driver
nor the Linux network layer will definitely have no problems to process
the received data. Remember the 'low-cost' hardware approach. We'll see ...
