aacraid: Relinquish CPU during timeout wait
aac_fib_send has a special function case for initial commands during driver initialization using wait < 0(pseudo sync mode). In this case, the command does not sleep but rather spins checking for timeout.This loop is calls cpu_relax() in an attempt to allow other processes/threads to use the CPU, but this function does not relinquish the CPU and so the command will hog the processor. This was observed in a KDUMP "crashkernel" and that prevented the "command thread" (which is responsible for completing the command from being timed out) from starting because it could not get the CPU. Fixed by replacing "cpu_relax()" call with "schedule()" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Raghava Aditya Renukunta <RaghavaAditya.Renukunta@microsemi.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
