Subject: cgroups: add cpu_relax() calls in css_tryget() and cgroup_clear_css_refs()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=804b3c28a4e4fa1c224571bf76edb534b9c4b1ed;p=linux-beck.git

cgroups: add cpu_relax() calls in css_tryget() and cgroup_clear_css_refs()

css_tryget() and cgroup_clear_css_refs() contain polling loops; these
loops should have cpu_relax calls in them to reduce cross-cache traffic.
