From fec846fa7eddf7bb651bf88bd78c7db1410ae3b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Maier Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2024 09:10:18 +0100 Subject: can: bcm: add recvmsg flags for own, local and remote traffic CAN RAW sockets allow userspace to tell if a received CAN frame comes from the same socket, another socket on the same host, or another host. See commit 1e55659ce6dd ("can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local traffic"). However, this feature is missing in CAN BCM sockets. Add the same feature to CAN BCM sockets. When reading a received frame (opcode RX_CHANGED) using recvmsg, two flags in msg->msg_flags may be set following the previous convention (from CAN RAW), to distinguish between 'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. Update the documentation to reflect this change.
