Subject: [PATCH 033/347] net: sched: Use msleep() instead of yield()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz
On PREEMPT_RT enabled systems the interrupt handler run as threads at prio 50
(by default). If a high priority userspace process tries to shut down a busy
network interface it might spin in a yield loop waiting for the device to
become idle. With the interrupt thread having a lower priority than the
looping process it might never be scheduled and so result in a deadlock on UP
systems.
With Magic SysRq the following backtrace can be produced:

This patch works around the problem by replacing yield() by msleep(1), giving
the interrupt thread time to finish, similar to other changes contained in the
rt patch set. Using wait_for_completion() instead would probably be a better
solution.
