Hi Jonathan

Ah, always some other things need to care, I didn't put enough focus on
this naming and thought it looks like ok. So I should throw these
unnecessary information in names away!

I've already handled some of those problems, and most of them are not a 
big deal, except this one and the locking problems, about how should I 
deal with locks properly. I'm already reading the lockdep conventions and
some articles about it.
Autobuilder are complaining about my locks, seems like a mess it is!

Actually, I've been wondering why the perl scripts didn't find this out,
and not only this one, many other problems like too many indents, 
parameters in open brackets are not aligned can be detected.
I don't know perl, but this has drawn my attention. Is there any
particular reason these problems still can not be detected? or I think
we can work some patch out! Make reviewing code like mine easier!
