 /**
- * kthread_create - create a kthread.
+ * kthread_create_on_node - create a kthread.
  * @threadfn: the function to run until signal_pending(current).
  * @data: data ptr for @threadfn.
+ * @node: memory node number.
  * @namefmt: printf-style name for the thread.
  *
  * Description: This helper function creates and names a kernel
  * thread.  The thread will be stopped: use wake_up_process() to start
  * it.  See also kthread_run().
  *
+ * If thread is going to be bound on a particular cpu, give its node
+ * in @node, to get NUMA affinity for kthread stack, or else give -1.
  * When woken, the thread will run @threadfn() with @data as its
  * argument. @threadfn() can either call do_exit() directly if it is a
- * standalone thread for which noone will call kthread_stop(), or
+ * standalone thread for which no one will call kthread_stop(), or
  * return when 'kthread_should_stop()' is true (which means
  * kthread_stop() has been called).  The return value should be zero
  * or a negative error number; it will be passed to kthread_stop().
  *
  * Returns a task_struct or ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
