  Put split ring and packed ring specific fields into separate
sub-structures, and also union them as they won't be available
at the same time.

Honest question: What do we really gain by putting it in a union? We
save a little memory. But we also make code less readable IMHO. 

If we do this, can we at least shorten some variable names, like drop
the vq_ prefix? (It's used everywhere like vq->vq_packed*, so with
vq->packed* we don't loose any context).

I'm not strictly against this change but I'm wondering if it's worth
it.  

regards,
Jens

I think it will make it clear that fields like used_wrap_counter
are only available in packed ring which will make the code more
readable.

I prefer to have consistent prefix like most fields in this
structure (although some fields don't really follow this).

As Jens, I tend to agree that the vq_ prefix is quite redundant.
However, I think it is better to keep it in this patch for consistency.

Maybe it can be remove in a separate patch later?

I thought it might be convenient to change it now as we are touching
all related code anyway. But I also don't want to block the patch because of
this cosmetic thing. So let's defer it to a later patch set.

OK, when I meant later, I meant to remove vq_ prefix for all fields, not
only vq_split & vq_packed.

But yes, that's just cosmetic so let's keep it as is for now.

I agree the vq_ prefix is not needed and I think the code is more
readable in general seeing the packed/split name when using the struct.

Please also consider that cosmetic changes in multiple places likely
mean backports will not apply cleanly to the stable branches anymore, so
it does have a cost. Although in this case, iirc packed rings are not in
18.11, so fixes might need dedicated backports from authors anyway, and
there haven't been too many virtio backports to date.

prefixing structure elements is an old school BSD thing back from when
compilers were not smart about namespaces for identifiers.

Agree that it is no longer needed.
