cpu_relax() does not sleep, usually it's merely a compiler directive.

On arm32/v7 (and most other platforms):

    #define cpu_relax()                     barrier()

    #define barrier() __asm__ __volatile__("": : :"memory")

On arm64:

    static inline void cpu_relax(void)
    {
            asm volatile("yield" ::: "memory");
    }

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
