Use correct bit positions in DM_SHARED_CTRL register for writes.
Michael Planes recently encountered a 'KY-RS9600 USB-LAN converter', which
came with a driver CD containing a Linux driver. This driver turns out to
be a copy of dm9601.c with symbols renamed and my copyright stripped.
That aside, it did contain 1 functional change in dm_write_shared_word(),
and after checking the datasheet the original value was indeed wrong
(read versus write bits).
On Michaels HW, this change bumps receive speed from ~30KB/s to ~900KB/s.
On other devices the difference is less spectacular, but still significant
(~30%).

No one noticed because of
* page-cache at work,
* local RAIDs
Impact:
Failed local READs are not retried remotely,

Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500,
the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to
pppd then the skb data must be read correctly.
The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs
to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that
error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.

In ppp_input(), PPP_PROTO(skb) may refer to invalid data in the skb.
If this happens and (proto >= 0xc000 || proto == PPP_CCPFRAG) then
the packet is passed directly to pppd.
This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU
greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear.
The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input(). The pull of 2
bytes in ppp_receive_frame() has been removed as it is no longer
required.

If a rename operation is resent to the MDS following an MDS restart, the
client does not get a full reply (containing the resulting metadata) back.
In that case, a ceph_rename() needs to compensate by doing anything useful
that fill_inode() would have, like d_move().
It also needs to invalidate the dentry (to workaround the vfs_rename_dir()
bug) and clear the dir complete flag, just like fill_trace().

Fix a number of RCU issues in the NFSv4 delegation code.
(1) delegation->cred doesn't need to be RCU protected as it's essentially an
invariant refcounted structure.
By the time we get to nfs_free_delegation(), the delegation is being
released, so no one else should be attempting to use the saved
credentials, and they can be cleared.
However, since the list of delegations could still be under traversal at
this point by such as nfs_client_return_marked_delegations(), the cred
should be released in nfs_do_free_delegation() rather than in
nfs_free_delegation(). Simply using rcu_assign_pointer() to clear it is
insufficient as that doesn't stop the cred from being destroyed, and nor
does calling put_rpccred() after call_rcu(), given that the latter is
asynchronous.
(2) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() and nfs_inode_set_delegation() should use
rcu_derefence_protected() because they can only be called if
nfs_client::cl_lock is held, and that guards against anyone changing
nfsi->delegation under it. Furthermore, the barrier imposed by
rcu_dereference() is superfluous, given that the spin_lock() is also a
barrier.
(3) nfs_detach_delegation_locked() is now passed a pointer to the nfs_client
struct so that it can issue lockdep advice based on clp->cl_lock for (2).
(4) nfs_inode_return_delegation_noreclaim() and nfs_inode_return_delegation()
should use rcu_access_pointer() outside the spinlocked region as they
merely examine the pointer and don't follow it, thus rendering unnecessary
the need to impose a partial ordering over the one item of interest.
These result in an RCU warning like the following:
[ INFO: suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage. ]

fs/nfs/delegation.c:332 invoked rcu_dereference_check() without protection!

The -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by latest CVS binutils have fixed
the out-of-order issue of Loongson-2F described in chapter 15 of the
Loongson2F User Manual [1, 2], but introduced some problems.
The option changes all of the jump target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the
at($1) register, but for the reboot address of Loongson 2F 0xbfc00000 this is
wrong. Avoids the problem via telling the assembler to not use the $at
register.

As documented in the Loongson 2F User Manual [2, 3], the old Loongson2F
series (2F01 / 2F02) have the NOP & JUMP issues which requires workarounds
in the kernel and binutils. This issue has been rectified in Loongson 2F
series 2F03 so no workarounds needed.
Now that the workarounds [1] adding the the -mfix-loongson2f-nop and
-mfix-loongson2f-jump options have been comitted to the binutils the CVS
repository), we can add the workarounds in the kernel.
The workarounds have no significant side effect on the system but may
decrease performance so we control them through a a new
CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDS config option allowing the users to only enable
it as necessary.
