Subject: fs: dcache: Use cpu_chill() in trylock loops
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2012 21:00:34 +0100
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.6/older/patches-4.6.2-rt5.tar.xz

Retry loops on RT might loop forever when the modifying side was
preempted. Use cpu_chill() instead of cpu_relax() to let the system
make progress.
