Subject: [PATCH RT 4/7] fs: dcache: Use cpu_chill() in trylock loops
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:27:02 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120314022945.223176076@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20120314022658.783312660@goodmis.org

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-fs-dcache-Use-cpu_chill-in-trylock-loops.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2160 bytes --]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

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.
