[PATCH RT 4/7] fs: dcache: Use cpu_chill() in trylock loops

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Mar 13 2012 - 22:30:34 EST


From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
