OK without any particular preferences outlined this is what I have,
splitting the two contexts and making the busy loop fix clearer.

+#define XA_BUSY_LOOP_RELAX(xa, x) do { \
+ if ((i % 1000) == 0) \
+ schedule(); \
+} while (0)
+
+/*
+ * Can be used in contexts which busy loop on large number of entries but can
+ * sleep and timing is if no importance to test correctness.
+ */
+#define XA_BUG_ON_RELAX(i, xa, x) do { \
+ XA_BUSY_LOOP_RELAX(i); \
+ XA_BUG_ON(xa, x); \
+} while (0)

Thoughts?
