Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de> says: If a driver is removed, the driver framework invokes the driver's remove callback. A CAN driver's remove function calls unregister_candev(), which calls net_device_ops::ndo_stop further down in the call stack for interfaces which are in the "up" state. With the mcp251xfd driver the removal of the module causes the following warning: | WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 352 at net/core/dev.c:7342 __netif_napi_del_locked+0xc8/0xd8 as can_rx_offload_del() deletes the NAPI, while it is still active, because the interface is still up. To fix the warning, first unregister the network interface, which calls net_device_ops::ndo_stop, which disables the NAPI, and then call can_rx_offload_del(). All other driver using the rx-offload helper have been checked and the same issue has been found in the rockchip and m_can driver. These have been fixed, but only compile time tested. On the mcp251xfd the fix was tested on hardware. Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250502-can-rx-offload-del-v1-0-59a9b131589d@pengutronix.de Signed-off-by: Marc Kleine-Budde <mkl@pengutronix.de>
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 reStructuredText 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.
