Subject: net: Use cpu_chill() instead of cpu_relax() From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:10:04 +0100 Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.1-rt3.tar.xz 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.
