Busy loops that poll on a register should call cpu_relax(). On some architectures, it can lower CPU power consumption or yield to a hyperthreaded twin processor. It also serves as a compiler barrier, see Documentation/process/volatile-considered-harmful.rst. In addition, if something goes wrong in the busy loop at least it can prevent things from getting worse.
