can-raw: add msg_flags to distinguish local traffic
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CAN has no addressing scheme. It is currently impossible for userspace
to tell is a received CAN frame comes from another process on the local
host, or from a remote CAN device.

This patch add support for userspace applications to distinguish between
'own', 'local' and 'remote' CAN traffic. The distinction is made by returning
flags in msg->msg_flags in the call to recvmsg().

The added documentation explains the introduced flags.

4.1.5 RAW socket returned message flags

When using recvmsg() call, the msg->msg_flags may contain following flags:

MSG_DONTROUTE: set when the received frame was created on the local host.

MSG_CONFIRM: set when the frame was sent via the socket it is received on.
This flag can be interpreted as a 'transmission confirmation' when the
CAN driver supports the echo of frames on driver level, see 3.2 and 6.2.
In order to receive such messages, CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS must be set.
