mainlining shenanigans
0387090713
The existing SocketCAN implementation provides alloc_candev() to allocate a CAN device using a single Tx and Rx queue. This can lead to priority inversion in case the single Tx queue is already full with low priority messages and a high priority message needs to be sent while the bus is fully loaded with medium priority messages. This problem can be solved by using the existing multi-queue support of the network subsytem. The commit makes it possible to use multi-queue in the CAN subsystem in the same way it is used in the Ethernet subsystem by adding an alloc_candev_mqs() call and accompanying macros. With this support a CAN device can use multi-queue qdisc (e.g. mqprio) to avoid the aforementioned priority inversion. The exisiting functionality of alloc_candev() is the same as before. CAN devices need to have prioritized multiple hardware queues or are able to abort waiting for arbitration to make sensible use of multi-queues.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
