As these are now global, should they be a bit more "specific"? "sync_"
seems pretty broad.
Given its the sync driver, its most obvious choice, but I agree its
likely to collide with filesystem related or other sync_ named functions
that don't have a subsystem prefix.
Any suggestions?
The only good alternative I can think of is that in some private
conversations with DanielV, he referred to Android using "sync-points".
Erik: Would syncpoint_ be an ok prefix? Or do you have other ideas?
Also, EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() perhaps?
And who is using these exports?
From some quick git grepping...
In the android exynos tree:
