Subject: test/spinlock: remove delay for correct benchmarking
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9119ad305db027b5c87e27b13fde9d60f9aa9a1f;p=dpdk.git

test/spinlock: remove delay for correct benchmarking

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.
