Hi Karolina,

This comment is for all the patches.

Commit msg:
We've got plenty of space on that line, how about:
"Rename byInitCount init_count"

(I say this because when someone searches by the oneliners it's
nice to give as many keywords as possible - within the line limit)


Commit log:
The log (why this patch is important) seems to be saying that
snake case is the fix for Hungarian notation. I don't think that
is completely true. Snake case avoids the camel case of Hungarian
notation, but we are also dropping the type descriptor which is
another signature of Hungarian notation.

Perhaps this would be more direct:

To align with the kernel coding style, remove the type from
the variable name and do not use CamelCase.

Reported by checkpatch.pl:
	CHECK: Avoid CamelCase: <byInitCount>

(Not for the log, but a ref if you don't have:
