Subject: [PATCH 1/2] netdev/fec: fix performance impact from mdio poll operation
Date: Fri,  7 May 2010 10:27:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1273199239-11057-2-git-send-email-bryan.wu@canonical.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1273199239-11057-1-git-send-email-bryan.wu@canonical.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546649
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/457878

After introducing phylib supporting, users experienced performace drop. That is
because of the mdio polling operation of phylib. Use msleep to replace the busy
waiting cpu_relax() and remove the warning message.
