[PATCH io_uring-7.2 0/3] fix up zcrx "notification" uapi naming

[Pavel Begunkov]

There is a degree of inconsistency, nuisance and ambiguity in the naming
of the zcrx "notification" API. Rename it to "events" and do other small
adjustments while it's not released yet. The patch set only does
renaming, there is no functional or ABI changes.

  io_uring/zcrx: drop "notif" from stats struct names
  io_uring/zcrx: rename ZCRX_NOTIF_NO_BUFFERS
  io_uring/zcrx: rename notif to event

[PATCH io_uring-7.2 1/3] io_uring/zcrx: drop "notif" from stats struct names

[Pavel Begunkov]

Keep zcrx statistics generic and don't stick "notif" to its uapi
definitions. Stats dosn't need to be bound to notification details,
it makes it cleaner and more readable.

[PATCH io_uring-7.2 2/3] io_uring/zcrx: rename ZCRX_NOTIF_NO_BUFFERS

[Pavel Begunkov]

ZCRX_NOTIF_NO_BUFFERS tells when page pool fails to allocate memory from
zcrx. "No buffers" could be more confusing, rename it to
ZCRX_NOTIF_ALLOC_FAIL.

Thanks,

[PATCH io_uring-7.2 3/3] io_uring/zcrx: rename notif to event

[Pavel Begunkov]

"Notification" is too long and the abbreviated version is used in
several places, which is inconsistent and more ambiguous for users.
Rename it to event, which is easier to keep consistent. To keep the
change small, only change uapi/ + do necessary fix ups, and the rest of
internals can be adjusted in the next release.
