Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86,smp: move waiting on contended ticket lock out of line
Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 17:32:52 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130108173252.02a42e89@annuminas.surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130108172632.1126898a@annuminas.surriel.com>
Moving the wait loop for congested loops to its own function allows
us to add things to that wait loop, without growing the size of the
kernel text appreciably.
