6629dcff19 i2c-core: Use per-adapter userspace device lists
Using a single list for all userspace devices leads to a dead lock
on multiplexed buses in some circumstances (mux chip instantiated
from userspace). This is solved by using a separate list for each
bus segment.

b1d4b390ea i2c: Fix probing of FSC hardware monitoring chips
Some FSC hardware monitoring chips (Syleus at least) doesn't like
quick writes we typically use to probe for I2C chips. Use a regular
byte read instead for the address they live at (0x73). These are the
only known chips living at this address on PC systems.

For clarity, this fix should not be needed for kernels 2.6.30 and
later, as we started instantiating the hwmon devices explicitly based
on DMI data. Still, this fix is valuable in the following two cases:
* Support for recent FSC chips on older kernels. The DMI-based device
  instantiation is more difficult to backport than the device support
  itself.
* Case where the DMI-based device instantiation fails, whatever the
  reason. We fall back to probing in that case, so it should work.

This fixes kernel bug #15634:

e4a7b9b04d i2c-core: Erase pointer to clientdata on removal
After discovering that a lot of i2c-drivers leave the pointer to their
clientdata dangling, it was decided to let the core handle this issue.
It is assumed that the core may access the private data after remove()
as there are no guarantees for the lifetime of such pointers anyhow (see
thread starting at http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/21/68)

1827d2e943 net: ep93xx_eth stops receiving packets
Receiving small packet(s) in a fast pace leads to not receiving any
packets at all after some time.

After ethernet packet(s) arrived the receive descriptor is incremented
by the number of frames processed. If another packet arrives while
processing, this is processed in another call of ep93xx_rx. This
second call leads that too many receive descriptors getting released.

This fix increments, even in these case, the right number of processed
receive descriptors.

e9162ab161 dm9601: fix phy/eeprom write routine
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%).

19937d0482 ppp_generic: handle non-linear skbs when passing them to pppd
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.

ea8420e9f5 ppp_generic: pull 2 bytes so that PPP_PROTO(skb) is valid
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.

ea1409f961 ceph: clear dir complete, invalidate dentry on replayed rename
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().

64fc74f5f6 MIPS: Loongson 2F: Fix of problems introduced by -mfix-loongson2f-jump
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.

8bbda428e9 MIPS: Loongson 2F: Enable fixups of the latest binutils
With the  "Fixups of Loongson2F" patch [1] having been applied to binutils
for binutils 2.20.1 we now can use it's time to enable the options provided
by the patch to compile the kernel.

Without these fixups, the system may hang if the erratum is triggered.

For more information on these fixups please refer to the following
references.

622844bf0b MIPS: Loongson: Add CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDS
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.
