From cbd7efc7df412514e32726dcfacd75da441a9390 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lukas Czerner Date: Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:28:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ext4: do not use yield() Using yield() is strongly discouraged (see sched/core.c) especially since we can just use cond_resched(). Replace all use of yield() with cond_resched().
