From b48362d8aaf32aeb4a75f5c556c652ffeeb1be5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:18:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: Unconfuse switch_hrtimer_base() a bit The variable called "this_base" is confusing because its name suggests it's of "struct hrtimer_clock_base" type, along with "base" and "new_base" which doesn't help understanding this complicated function. Make its name clearer and fix the misleading comment while at it.
