The CAN error message frames (i.e. error skb) are an interface
specific to socket CAN. The payload of the CAN error message frames
does not correspond to any actual data sent on the wire. Only an error
flag and a delimiter are transmitted when an error occurs (c.f. ISO
11898-1 section 10.4.4.2 "Error flag").

For this reason, it makes no sense to increment the tx_packets and
tx_bytes fields of struct net_device_stats when sending an error
message frame because no actual payload will be transmitted on the
wire.

N.B. Sending error message frames is a very specific feature which, at
the moment, is only supported by the Kvaser Hydra hardware. Please
refer to [1] for more details on the topic.

Hi Vincent!

Thanks for the patch.
There are flags in the TX ACK package, which makes it possible to
determine if it was an error frame or not. So we don't need to get
the original CAN frame to determine this.
I suggest the following change:

This is a great suggestion. I was not a fan of getting the
original CAN frame, this TX ACK solves the issue.

Nitpick, but I prefer to write:

+ flags & KVASER_USB_HYDRA_CF_FLAG_ERROR_FRAME;


Agree, I also prefer this.

This line is related to the tx RTR. I will rebase this into
"can: do not increase rx_bytes statistics for RTR frames" (patch 4/5).

Same here, there is no need anymore to move this block *in this
patch*, will rebase it.

Agree.

Does this look good to you? If so, can I add these tags to patch 2/5?
