Subject: [PATCH][cr][nit]: eclone() - Remove extra __user and add a comment
Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 19:04:39 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100504020439.GA5098@us.ibm.com> (raw)


Sorry, I thought I had sent this minor patch out earlier, but I just
realized I had not.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] eclone(): Remove extra __user and add a comment

As pointed out by Russel King, '__user' does not make sense on an integer
type. Remove it. Also add a comment on why we want 'stack_size' to be 0
on x86 and s390.
