From: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Linus has observed that the variable names here do not make a lot of sense,
revise them as discussed so the file has better readability.
The new names are:
struct mmu_notifier_mm -> struct mmu_notifier_subscriptions
mmu_notifier_mm or mmn_mm -> subscriptions
The per mm_struct memory that holds all the notifier subscription list
heads and interval tree
mn -> subscription (of type struct mmu_notifier)
A list based subscription to notifications
mni -> interval_sub (of type struct mmu_interval_notifier)
A VA interval based subscription to notifications
I had originaly thought to also change the struct names, and while they are
not ideal, it seems that the resulting tree wide churn is probably not
worthwhile considering the size.
This is intended to have no functional change.
Jason Gunthorpe (3):
mm/mmu_notifier: Rename struct mmu_notifier_mm to
mmu_notifier_subscriptions
mm/mmu_notifiers: Use 'subscription' as the variable name for
mmu_notifier
mm/mmu_notifiers: Use 'interval_sub' as the variable for
mmu_interval_notifier
