Description Richard Sharpe 2011-12-02 15:38:56 UTC 
I noticed that the naming of VFS functions in the structure that defines them is inconsistent. Eg:

        .open_fn = vfswrap_open,
        .create_file = vfswrap_create_file,
        .close_fn = vfswrap_close,
        .vfs_read = vfswrap_read,
        .pread = vfswrap_pread,
        .write = vfswrap_write,
        .pwrite = vfswrap_pwrite,

They should all probably be called <name>_fn, eg, create_file_fn, read_fn, pread_fn, write_fn, etc.

This will break out of tree modules, but the change is pretty mechanical.

For 3.6.2, I would not do this. For the next 3.x release, sure. If I was you, I would just post a patch somewhere and push it to master after some review. For 3.7 or 4.0 we don't have the bugzilla process.
