SubjectAW: [PATCH] net/can/mscan: Enable interrupts when all TX buffers are occupied to get notified when they are available again
Date
>> When all TX buffers of the mscan are occupied the network layer is told to stop sending further packets. However the TX interrupts are not enabled and therefore the driver has no chance to tell the network layer when it is ready to accept further packets.

It is in fact a very rare condition, but it was triggered during testing when pulling CAN-HI and CAN-LO lines
to GND and VCC in various combinations to verify how the system is recovering. I am working with a MPC5125
if this is valuable information. (This was only one issue I ran into, I had to do other modifications for other
issues as well, but I think they are chip specific, I'll share them in a separate thread if you like).
