Subject: Re: [PATCH -next] memregion: Add arch_flush_memregion() interface

Message-ID: <20220907153016.f7cd4f42a337fedae8319f28@linux-foundation.org> (raw)

I really dislike the term "flush". Sometimes it means writeback,
sometimes it means invalidate. Perhaps at other times it means
both.
Can we please be very clear in comments and changelogs about exactly
what this "flush" does. With bonus points for being more specific in the
function naming?
