Hi Neal,
when you try to write more data than the 'real' CAN hardware can put
onto the bus the tx-queue from the CAN netdevice simply runs over after
some time.
If you have only 'peak' load you may try to pump up the tx_queue_len of
'can0' in the sysfs:
echo 1000 > /sys/class/net/can0/tx_queue_len
But if your idea is to generate maximum load, you could ignore/handle
the -ENOBUF return value, wait an appropriate time (e.g. 500ns?) and
send your next CAN frame.
Regards,
Oliver
