Subject: [PATCH 19/32] mn10300: copy_thread(): rename 'ustk_size' argument to 'kthread_arg'
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 20:14:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1426270496-26362-9-git-send-email-alexinbeijing@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1426270496-26362-1-git-send-email-alexinbeijing@gmail.com>

'ustk_size' is misleading, since this argument is never used for a user stack
size. Rather, it is an argument passed to the main function executed by a new
kernel thread. Therefore, rename it to 'kthread_arg'.
