So the various wait-queue entry variables in include/linux/wait.h and kernel/sched/wait.c are named in a colorfully inconsistent way: wait_queue_entry_t *wait wait_queue_entry_t *__wait (even in plain C code!) wait_queue_entry_t *q (!) wait_queue_entry_t *new (making anyone who knows C++ cringe) wait_queue_entry_t *old I think part of the reason for the inconsistency is the constant apparent confusion about what a wait queue 'head' versus 'entry' is. ( Some of the documentation talks about a 'wait descriptor', which is the wait-queue entry itself - further adding to the confusion. ) The most common name is 'wait', but that in itself is somewhat ambiguous as well, as it does not really make it clear whether it's a wait-queue entry or head. To improve all this name the wait-queue entry structure parameters and variables consistently and push through this naming into all the wait.h and wait.c code: struct wait_queue_entry *wq_entry The 'wq_' prefix makes it easy to grep for, and we also use the opportunity to move away from the typedef to a plain 'struct' naming: in the kernel we typically reserve typedefs for cases where a C structure is really small and somewhat opaque - such as pte_t. wait-queue entries are neither small nor opaque, so use the more standard 'struct xxx_entry' list management code nomenclature instead. ( We don't touch external users, and we preserve the typedef as well for actual wait-queue users, to reduce unnecessary churn. ) Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> |

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
