Given its the sync driver, its most obvious choice, but I agree its likely to collide with filesystem related or other sync_ named functions that don't have a subsystem prefix.
Any suggestions?
The only good alternative I can think of is that in some private conversations with DanielV, he referred to Android using "sync-points".
Erik: Would syncpoint_ be an ok prefix? Or do you have other ideas?
syncpoint would be semantically weird when you end up with struct syncpoint_pt. I'm open to suggestions as long as it works with XXXX_pt, XXXX_timeline, and XXXX_fence. I'll ask around the office and see if someone has a good idea.
Colin Cross pointed out that this is limited to sync_fence_*, sync_pt_*, and sync_timeline_* and not sync_* so it's much less likely to have naming collisions.
