Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ext4: Do no use yield() in ext4 code
Date: Fri,  8 Mar 2013 09:23:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1362730998-3263-3-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1362730998-3263-1-git-send-email-lczerner@redhat.com>

Using yield() is strongly discouraged (see sched/core.c) especially
since we can just use cond_resched().

Replace all use of yield() with cond_resched().
