Hello,
kernfs just got separated out from sysfs and contains a lot of names carried over from sysfs which are misnomers. Thanks to the code movement and large-scale reorganization, kernfs code is already in full conflict mode with any patches generated against sysfs prior the separation and in a lot of cases those conflicts won't be simple "file moved there" conflicts but deeper ones due to the large scale refactoring which happened for the separation.
We can't really make the situation much worse. Let's take the chance and rename things so that the misnomers in kernfs don't cause confusions in the future.
This patchset contains the following six rename patches.
0001-kernfs-s-sysfs_dirent-kernfs_node-and-rename-its-fri.patch 0002-kernfs-drop-s_-prefix-from-kernfs_node-members.patch 0003-kernfs-s-sysfs-kernfs-in-various-data-structures.patch 0004-kernfs-s-sysfs-kernfs-in-constants.patch 0005-kernfs-s-sysfs-kernfs-in-global-variables.patch 0006-kernfs-s-sysfs-kernfs-in-internal-functions-and-what.patch
While the patches are fairly large, they are all trivial rename patches. Nothing else. There's no functional change to the code base before and after.
This patchset is based on the current driver-core-next a8b1c0193602 ("Documentation: start documenting driver design patterns") and also available in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git review-kernfs-rename

Thanks.
