Subject: [PATCH 3/3] RDMA/hfi1: reduce namespace pollution
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 16:12:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320151511.3420818-3-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320151511.3420818-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
While looking at an unrelated bug, I noticed that the global "class_name"
function is not suitable for a driver-internal interface. The same
file that declares this also has dev_init() and dev_exit() functions,
which are equally problematic.
Remove the class_name() function entirely and just hardcode the string
where it is used, and rename the other two functions to fit into the
hfi1 namespace.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
----
The driver contains many more functions that should not be in the global
namespace, but I decided not to fix the other ones. Maybe the maintainers
can continue renaming the rest.
