Fenghua Yu eea2b2bb50 drivers/net/b44: Change to non-atomic bit operations on pwol_mask
[ Upstream commit f11421ba4af706cb4f5703de34fa77fba8472776 ]

Atomic operations that span cache lines are super-expensive on x86
(not just to the current processor, but also to other processes as all
memory operations are blocked until the operation completes). Upcoming
x86 processors have a switch to cause such operations to generate a #AC
trap. It is expected that some real time systems will enable this mode
in BIOS.

In preparation for this, it is necessary to fix code that may execute
atomic instructions with operands that cross cachelines because the #AC
trap will crash the kernel.

Since "pwol_mask" is local and never exposed to concurrency, there is
no need to set bits in pwol_mask using atomic operations.

Directly operate on the byte which contains the bit instead of using
__set_bit() to avoid any big endian concern due to type cast to
unsigned long in __set_bit().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
