New Revision: 251322
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/251322

Log:
  Be more generous when donating the current thread time to the owner of
  the vnode lock while iterating over the free vnode list.  Instead of
  yielding, pause for 1 tick.  The change is reported to help in some
  virtualized environments.
