From 90fa1527bddc7147dc0d590ee6184ca88bc50ecf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 03:04:54 +0000 Subject: dm snapshot: change yield to msleep Change yield() to msleep(1). If the thread had realtime priority, yield() doesn't really yield, so the yielding process would loop indefinitely and cause machine lockup.
