So you are CCing people not related to this code in any way. Frankly, I think the 'dma_buf' regex is a bit too generic. 'dma_buf' seems like a reasonable name to me if some subsystem has to deal with different buffers which can be DMA or non-DMA, like I2C. If you git-grep the tree, you will find it in quite some places. We could now think of renaming the variable to 'dmabuf' but this is a strange and kind of arbitrary rule to remember IMO. I wonder if you'd miss a lot of patches if we remove 'dma_buf' from the regex and keep 'dma_fence' and 'dma_resv'? Or extend it to 'dma_buf_' or 'struct dma_buf'? All the best, Wolfram
