Subject: [PATCH net] net: add cpu_relax to busy poll loop
Date: Sun, 25 Aug 2013 10:23:46 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130825072346.31655.84970.stgit@ladj378.jer.intel.com> (raw)

Add a cpu_relaxt to sk_busy_loop.

Julie Cummings reported performance issues when hyperthreading is on.
Arjan van de Ven observed that we should have a cpu_relax() in the
busy poll loop.
