thread_info is not anymore in the stack, so the entire stack can now be used.Nice.quoted
In the meantime, all pointers to the stacks are not anymore pointers to thread_info so this patch changes them to void*Wasn't this previously effectively already the case with patch 3/7? You had thread_info sized space left there, but it was not used or initialized right? Does it make sense to move this part of it to the previous patch?
Not really. In 3/7 I changed the prototypes of two functions that really used the pointer as a task pointer only. Here it change things that before 4/7 were really used as both stack pointers and thread_info pointers. Christophe
