From 76c7dd76777f6714da06b232042166f1e48b54e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 20:51:03 +0100 Subject: rt: Introduce cpu_chill() Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was preempted. Add cpu_chill() to replace cpu_relax(). cpu_chill() defaults to cpu_relax() for non RT. On RT it puts the looping task to sleep for a tick so the preempted task can make progress.
