From 411705d51a89aa7c844f7cae5379a406d720f619 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 21:00:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 139/191] fs: namespace: Use cpu_chill() in trylock loops Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was preempted. Use cpu_chill() instead of cpu_relax() to let the system make progress.
