Re: [PATCH 0/2] D_CAN RX buffer size improvements

[Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@vanguardiasur.com.ar>]

Hi everyone,

This series was recently brought to my attention, in connection to a
long-standing
packet drop issue that we had on a Sitara-based product.

I haven't tested this personally, but I've been notified that this was
backported
to the v4.19 kernel, and the packet drop was fixed.

It seems the series never managed to get upstreamed,
but I think this should be resurrected and merged (probably with after
some cleanup/review).

Thanks,
Ezequiel
