kfifo: rename kfifo_put... into kfifo_in... and kfifo_get... into kfifo_out...
rename kfifo_put... into kfifo_in... to prevent miss use of old non in kernel-tree drivers ditto for kfifo_get... -> kfifo_out... Improve the prototypes of kfifo_in and kfifo_out to make the kerneldoc annotations more readable. Add mini "howto porting to the new API" in kfifo.h Signed-off-by: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Acked-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

+ * Howto porting drivers to the new generic fifo API:
+ *
+ * - Modify the declaration of the "struct kfifo *" object into a
+ * in-place "struct kfifo" object
+ * - Init the in-place object with kfifo_alloc() or kfifo_init()
+ * Note: The address of the in-place "struct kfifo" object must be
+ * passed as the first argument to this functions
+ * - Replace the use of __kfifo_put into kfifo_in and __kfifo_get
+ * into kfifo_out
+ * - Replace the use of kfifo_put into kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_get
+ * into kfifo_out_locked
+ * Note: the spinlock pointer formerly passed to kfifo_init/kfifo_alloc
+ * must be passed now to the kfifo_in_locked and kfifo_out_locked
+ * as the last parameter.
+ * - All formerly name __kfifo_* functions has been renamed into kfifo_*
