Is there an accepted standard on naming for registration functions? If have
a foo
object that other things can register and unregister with, should the
function names be:
int register_foo(&something);
int unregister_foo(&something);
- or -
int foo_register(&something);
int foo_unregister(&something);

really, that would make the entire kernel code a little
simplier to understand.
On the same way, we can say why there is not an accepted standard on
naming lock functions, such as
spinlock, rwlock and so on..
That would be more efficient to understand the code...
However, where is flexibility?

I do not think there is an accepted practice here.

I bet this is more common.

But I prefer this - I like there to be a namespace for a given subsystem
and for it to be a prefix.

100% agreed. Just look at LLC 8) And yes, the big names was procom's fault,
but the way it is structured... I'd love somebody to come up with something
that makes it smaller 8)

I prefer this, althought the other one is [maybe more] common.
