Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] event/cnxk: add pause to spinloops
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 09:45:30 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260413164652.33291-3-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260413164652.33291-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

On SMT systems when a spinloop is done without a pause
it may cause excessive latency. This problem was found
by the fix_empty_spinloops coccinelle script.
