      kthread: kthread worker API cleanup · 3989144f
      Petr Mladek 提交于
      A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
      of the subsystem.
      
      The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
      worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
      queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.
      
      This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
      the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
      kthread_:
      
      __init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
      init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
      init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
      insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
      queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
      flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
      flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()
      
      Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
      as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
      precedence over the subsystem names.
      
      Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
      naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
      reasons for this solution:
      
        + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
          aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
          stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".
      
        + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros
      
        + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
          functions. It looks much better if all the functions
          use the same scheme.
      
        + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
          be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
          to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
          functions use the same naming scheme.
      
        + there are several precedents for such init() function
          names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
          jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),
      
        + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.
