From e0a602963485a2f109ae1521c0c55507304c63ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2006 12:58:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] Fix spinlock debugging delays to not time out too early The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long spinlock waits - but on fast CPUs this led to a way too fast timeout and false messages. The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every architecture implements __delay(1) to last around 1/(loops_per_jiffy*HZ) seconds.
