tcf_block_attach_ext() passes qdisc parameter to tcf_block_owner_add() which saves qdisc to new tcf_block_owner_item and adds the item to block's owner list. I proposed several naming options for these functions to Jiri on internal review and he suggested "attach" as better option. > > So, renaming it to *attach() is even confusing, at least not > any better. Please find other names or leave them as they are. What would you recommend?
