Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/5] x86,smp: move waiting on contended ticket lock out of line
Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2013 00:18:21 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130103001821.258795ee@annuminas.surriel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130103001536.7fd1e952@annuminas.surriel.com>
Moving the wait loop for congested loops to its own function allows
us to add things to that wait loop, without growing the size of the
kernel text appreciably.
