[patch 17/19] softirq: Replace barrier() with cpu_relax() in tasklet_unlock_wait()

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

 



A barrier() in a tight loop which waits for something to happen on a remote
CPU is a pointless exercise. Replace it with cpu_relax() which allows HT
siblings to make progress.
