[PATCH RT 6/7] net: Use cpu_chill() instead of cpu_relax()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Mar 13 2012 - 22:31:13 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.
