[PATCH net-next v1 2/4] net: devmem: rename binding dev and vdev to map_dev and bind_dev

From: Mina Almasry

Date: Tue Nov 03 2026 - 18:30:40 EST


struct net_devmem_dmabuf_binding currently tracks two device pointers
under the names 'dev' and 'vdev':

- 'dev' is the physical net_device whose dma_dev holds the DMA mapping.
- 'vdev' is the virtual net_device the user bound to when using leased
queues.

Rename 'dev' to 'map_dev' and 'vdev' to 'bind_dev' (typed as struct
net_device *), and rename the matching local variable in
netdev_nl_bind_tx_doit() from 'bind_dev' to 'map_dev' to match. No
functional change.
