From: Jean Delvare Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 19:47:41 +0000 (-0700) Subject: fork_init: update max_threads comment X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3ea7f5e25ec271909451b7dc17be37581b888de6;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git fork_init: update max_threads comment The comment explaining what value max_threads is set to is outdated. The maximum memory consumption ratio for thread structures was 1/2 until February 2002, then it was briefly changed to 1/16 before being set to 1/8 which we still use today. The comment was never updated to reflect that change, it's about time.
