Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: rename low latency sockets functions to busy
 poll

Rename functions in include/net/ll_poll.h to busy wait.
Clarify documentation about expected power use increase.
Rename POLL_LL to POLL_BUSY_LOOP.
Add need_resched() testing to poll/select busy loops.

Note, that in select and poll can_busy_poll is dynamic and is
updated continuously to reflect the existence of supported
sockets with valid queue information.

 low_latency_poll
 ----------------
 Low latency busy poll timeout for poll and select. (needs CONFIG_NET_LL_RX_POLL)
-Approximate time in us to spin waiting for packets on the device queue.
+Approximate time in us to busy loop waiting for events.
 Recommended value depends on the number of sockets you poll on.
 For several sockets 50, for several hundreds 100.
 For more than that you probably want to use epoll.
 Note that only sockets with SO_LL set will be busy polled, so you want to either
 selectively set SO_LL on those sockets or set sysctl.net.low_latency_read globally.
