Subject: ext4: do not use yield()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb8b20ed94bc69120e31399c43cb336300dea109;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

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().
