[dpdk-stable] patch 'test/spinlock: remove delay for correct benchmarking' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.7

[Yongseok Koh]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objection by 07/27/19. So please
shout if anyone has objection.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] test/spinlock: remove delay for correct benchmarking

[ upstream commit 9119ad305db027b5c87e27b13fde9d60f9aa9a1f ]

The test is to benchmark the performance of spinlock by counting the
number of spinlock acquire and release operations within the specified
time.
A typical pair of lock and unlock operations costs tens or hundreds of
nano seconds, in comparison to this, delaying 1 us outside of the locked
region is too much, compromising the goal of benchmarking the lock and
unlock performance.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
