From 85f9eebccde51e24896f31383f5b70776362e1a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 16:29:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] x86_64: Use cpu_relax in poll loop in GART IOMMU The code waits for the GART to clear the TLB flush bit. Use cpu_relax in this time to allow hypervisors to yield the CPU in this time.
