[PATCH] dm: use cpu_relax when busy waiting for condition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Switch busy loops from using msleep(1) to cpu_relax().

Any improvement is negligible given the rare nature of these busy wait
conditions -- but cpu_relax() is considered the more polite method to
use for busy loops.
