Add a system control to set the number of\nretries before a cpu is yielded.\n\nThe reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to\ngive up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only\nfor a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings\nfor spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is\n1000.\n\nSigned-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky \u003cschwidefsky@de.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "0399cb08c54708db231d616f106f64d920e0b723", "tree": "f0424d43c578f7c5c1e7aa6ea6ca1c906c7ac289", "parents": [ "153f805781d35c91ab2f54aa2b8930cc4cfc7e89" ], "author": { "name": "Robert Love", "email": "rml@novell.com", "time": "Wed Jul 13 12:38:18 2005 -0400" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Jul 13 11:09:31 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] inotify: move sysctl\n\nThis moves the inotify sysctl knobs to \"/proc/sys/fs/inotify\" from\n\"/proc/sys/fs\".
