CPU usage. + 4.1.1.1 CAN filter usage optimisation + + The CAN filters are processed in per-device filter lists at CAN frame + reception time. To reduce the number of checks that need to be performed + while walking through the filter lists the CAN core provides an optimized + filter handling when the filter subscription focusses on a single CAN ID. + + For the possible 2048 SFF CAN identifiers the identifier is used as an index + to access the corresponding subscription list without any further checks. + For the 2^29 possible EFF CAN identifiers a 10 bit XOR folding is used as + hash function to retrieve the EFF table index. + + To benefit from the optimized filters for single CAN identifiers the + CAN_SFF_MASK or CAN_EFF_MASK have to be set into can_filter.mask together + with set CAN_EFF_FLAG and CAN_RTR_FLAG bits.
