From: Andreas Mohr Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 12:46:52 +0000 (-0700) Subject: [PATCH] cpu_relax(): smpboot.c X-Git-Tag: v2.6.18-rc1~1062 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=186989177e627c2571a3026d39ea1433e4ddc097;p=linux-2.6 [PATCH] cpu_relax(): smpboot.c Add cpu_relax() to various smpboot.c init loops. cpu_relax() always implies a barrier (according to Arjan), so remove those as well.
