@xiaoxiang781216 @anchao I've now spent some more time looking at this and I still think we need to improve the naming. Firstly, free is the better term to use when we are freeing up a resource to be used again. Destroy makes it sound like the resource doesn't exist after, which is not true. What you have now named iob_free_queue() - the implementation of which did not exist before, finds the given IOB in the queue and removes it, freeing both the IOB chain itself, and the qentry. Therefore, I propose you name this function one of the following: - iob_free_qentry_from_queue() <- Long but very descriptive - iob_freeone_queue() - iob_queue_freeone() I would therefore revert the renaming of the original implementation of iob_free_queue(), as I actually think that name was descriptive of what the function did. Let me know your thoughts - I'm open to other naming but I don't think this change as it stands is very readable. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
