From 804b3c28a4e4fa1c224571bf76edb534b9c4b1ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Menage Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:25:21 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
