Are there naming conventions that are preferred for functions? I'm seeing
somethings named foo_free, free_foo, foo_init, init_foo, etc.
Consistency provides names that are easy to guess/learn.
examples from: linux/kernel/fork.c
####################################
static void free_thread_stack(struct task_struct *tsk)
{
kmem_cache_free(thread_stack_cache, tsk->stack);
}
void thread_stack_cache_init(void)
{
thread_stack_cache = kmem_cache_create("thread_stack", THREAD_SIZE,
THREAD_SIZE, 0, NULL);
BUG_ON(thread_stack_cache == NULL);
}
if (init_new_context(p, mm))
