Yes, well at least the function is called kvaser_usb_hydra_one_shot_fail.

That is a good question. I guess it will be counted as error by:

         if (isrc & IRQ_TI) {
             /* transmission buffer released */
             if (priv->can.ctrlmode & CAN_CTRLMODE_ONE_SHOT &&
                 !(status & SR_TCS)) {
                 stats->tx_errors++;
                 can_free_echo_skb(dev, 0);
             } else {
                 /* transmission complete */
                 stats->tx_bytes +=
                     priv->read_reg(priv, SJA1000_FI) & 0xf;
                 stats->tx_packets++;
                 can_get_echo_skb(dev, 0);
             }
             netif_wake_queue(dev);
             can_led_event(dev, CAN_LED_EVENT_TX);
         }

 From the datasheet, Transmit Interrupt:

"set; this bit is set whenever the transmit bufferstatus
changes from ‘0-to-1’ (released) and the TIE bit is set
within the interrupt enable register".

I cannot test it though, since I don't have a sja1000.

Thanks, regards,
