    tipc: rename functions defined in subscr.c · 57f1d186
    Ying Xue authored
    When a topology server accepts a connection request from its client,
    it allocates a connection instance and a tipc_subscriber structure
    object. The former is used to communicate with client, and the latter
    is often treated as a subscriber which manages all subscription events
    requested from a same client. When a topology server receives a request
    of subscribing name services from a client through the connection, it
    creates a tipc_subscription structure instance which is seen as a
    subscription recording what name services are subscribed. In order to
    manage all subscriptions from a same client, topology server links
    them into the subscrp_list of the subscriber. So subscriber and
    subscription completely represents different meanings respectively,
    but function names associated with them make us so confused that we
    are unable to easily tell which function is against subscriber and
    which is to subscription. So we want to eliminate the confusion by
    renaming them.
