[PATCH 1/4] mm/ksm: rename mm_slot members to ksm_slot for better readability.

[PATCH 1/4] mm/ksm: rename mm_slot members to ksm_slot for better readability.

[alexs]

From: "Alex Shi (tencent)" <alexs@kernel.org>

mm_slot is a struct of mm, and ksm_mm_slot is named the same again in
ksm_scan struct. Furthermore, the ksm_mm_slot pointer is named as
mm_slot again in functions, beside with 'struct mm_slot' variable.
That makes code readability pretty worse.

struct ksm_mm_slot {
        struct mm_slot slot;
	...
};

struct ksm_scan {
        struct ksm_mm_slot *mm_slot;
	...
};

int __ksm_enter(struct mm_struct *mm)
{
        struct ksm_mm_slot *mm_slot;
        struct mm_slot *slot;
	...

So let's rename the mm_slot member to ksm_slot in ksm_scan, and ksm_slot
for ksm_mm_slot* type variables in functions to reduce this confusing.

 struct ksm_scan {
-       struct ksm_mm_slot *mm_slot;
+       struct ksm_mm_slot *ksm_slot;

[PATCH 2/4] mm/ksm: rename variable mm_slot to ksm_slot in unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items

[alexs]

From: "Alex Shi (tencent)" <alexs@kernel.org>

To distinguish ksm_mm_slot and mm_slot for better code readability,
rename ksm_mm_slot variable as ksm_slot in function
unmerge_and_remove_all_rmap_items. No function changes.

Similarly, this makes the code more confusion. The pattern in khugepaged 
is similarly:

mm_slot = mm_slot_alloc(mm_slot_cache);

I don't think we want these renamings.

E.g., "ksm_mm_slot_cache" might be a bit better than "mm_slot_cache". 
But then, we are in KSM code ... so I don't really see an improvement.

Could we rename it to khg_mm_slot_cache in khugepaged?

Thanks for comments and sorry for response late.

yes, ksm_mm_slot_cache is better even in KSM code. As a cscope/tag dependency patient, this change could reduce much of confusing in name searching. And that's why a one-side change satisfies me.
Yes, maybe better naming could make it more readable, any more further help? :)

Thanks a lot!

I don't see any sense in such renaming, sorry. This code resides in 
ksm.c/khugepaged.c respectively and at least for me is, therefore, quite 
clear.
