Hello,
Assume I want to busy loop in the kernel for 100 milliseconds, how
many times (approx) should I go around a loop which increments an int?
(Yes I know you usually don't want to busy loop in the kernel,
in fact, I know how to do it the "smart" way, with sleep, and timeout, but
for once I really need to busy loop for a short time..)
Thanks,
Alex
