From: Andreas Mohr Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:11:25 +0000 (+0200) Subject: i386: add cpu_relax() to cmos_lock() X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~57 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=267eb01a62b1190d0bf87b1ef3b0c9d21cdb2c57;p=linux-2.6 i386: add cpu_relax() to cmos_lock() Add cpu_relax() to cmos_lock() inline function for faster operation on SMT CPUs and less power consumption on others in case of lock contention (which probably doesn't happen too often, so admittedly this patch is not too exciting).
