Now that we have disambuigated ring and engine, we can use the clearer

You missed a few instances of 'ring' meaning engine:

i915_gem_execbuffer.c:           struct intel_engine_cs **ring)
intel_mocs.h:int intel_mocs_init_engine(struct intel_engine_cs *ring);
intel_ringbuffer.c:gen5_seqno_barrier(struct intel_engine_cs *ring)
intel_ringbuffer.h:    void        (*irq_enable)(struct intel_engine_cs
*ring);
intel_ringbuffer.h:    void        (*irq_disable)(struct intel_engine_cs
*ring);
intel_ringbuffer.h:    int        (*init_hw)(struct intel_engine_cs *ring);
intel_ringbuffer.h:    void        (*irq_seqno_barrier)(struct
intel_engine_cs *ring);
intel_ringbuffer.h:    void        (*cleanup)(struct intel_engine_cs
*ring);

I think we have to purge every last trace of this usage before using
'ring' as shorthand for 'ringbuf[fer]'.

Oh yes, also there are lots of other things called 'ring' which aren't ringbuffers, such as an engine:

#define RING_ELSP(ring) _MMIO((ring)->mmio_base + 0x230)

or an engine id:

static i915_reg_t mocs_register(enum intel_engine_id ring, int index)
i915_gem_object_retire__read(struct drm_i915_gem_object *obj, int ring)
int ring = req->engine->id;

or a different structure entirely:

struct drm_i915_error_ring *ring = &error->ring[ring_idx];

I could probably write some Cocci to find-and-rename all the things called 'ring' that weren't ringbuffers, but it would be easier not to overload the identifier with a host of different meanings in the first place. So I think adding any more instances of things called 'ring' should wait until the name has no other meanings, if ringbuffers are the thing you want it to unambiguously identify.

.Dave.
