Hi Mikhail,

thanks for your patch.
Some minor feedback from my side.

nit: For networking code please arrange local variables in reverse xmas
tree order - longest line to shortest.

You can check this using: https://github.com/ecree-solarflare/xmastree

In this case I think it would be:

struct virtio_can_priv *priv = netdev_priv(ndev);
struct device *dev = &priv->vdev->dev;
struct scatterlist sg_out[1];
struct scatterlist sg_in[1];
struct scatterlist *sgs[2];
struct virtqueue *vq;
unsigned int len;
int err;

vq = priv->vqs[VIRTIO_CAN_QUEUE_CONTROL];

If I understand things correctly, this code is on the datapath.
So perhaps these should be rate limited, or only logged once.
Likewise elsewhere in this function.
