Subject: [PATCH v6 8/8] iommufd: Rename some shortterm-related identifiers
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2025 15:03:49 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250716070349.1807226-9-yilun.xu@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250716070349.1807226-1-yilun.xu@linux.intel.com>
Rename the shortterm-related identifiers to wait-related.
The usage of shortterm_users refcount is now beyond its name. It is
also used for references which live longer than an ioctl execution.
E.g. vdev holds idev's shortterm_users refcount on vdev allocation,
releases it during idev's pre_destroy(). Rename the refcount as
wait_cnt, since it is always used to sync the referencing & the
destruction of the object by waiting for it to go to zero.
List all changed identifiers:
iommufd_object::shortterm_users -> iommufd_object::wait_cnt
REMOVE_WAIT_SHORTTERM -> REMOVE_WAIT
iommufd_object_dec_wait_shortterm() -> iommufd_object_dec_wait()
zerod_shortterm -> zerod_wait_cnt
No functional change intended.
