Here it is: struct pci_tsm_pf0 *tsm  (it is really a "dsm")

All of the context returned by the TSM driver is a "tsm" context, the
only time use "dsm" is in referring to the actual pci_dev that runs the
SPDM session.

ah ok. Just seems a bit counterintuitive to use a short "tsm" acronym for something else than the actual TSM as defined in the PCI spec and in this case - it is the opposite to the spec's "TSM" - it is a DSM, the other end of trust chain. And if I wanted to reference the actual TSM in the same function - that would be "tsm_dev".⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And the actual DSM pci_dev is barely used, it is mostly "struct pci_tsm_pf0".


In pci_tsm: struct pci_dev *dsm (alright)

May be we need some distinction between PF0's pci_dev and pci_tsm_pf0 but still these are DSMs.

In pci_tsm_pf0 it is: struct pci_tsm tsm, imho "base" is less confusing (I keep catching myself thinking it is a pointer to tsm_dev).

Ok, I can change it to base.

"tsm" would be what you call "tsm_dev" which is ok but seeing short "tsm" used as "dsm" or "TSM data for this pci_dev" is confusing.

s/pci_tsm/pci_tsm_ctx/ and s/tsm/tsm_ctx/ ? Thanks,

What is a tsm_ctx? The s/pci_tsm/pci_tsm_ctx/ rename is not adding more
clarity for me.

TSM-related attributes of a PCI device. Not the best name, true.

If Aneesh or Yilun also find that rename clarifying I
will switch. For v5 I will stick with 'struct pci_tsm' as the PCI object
that wraps TSM driver produced objects.
yeah, if it is just me, then never mind, I'll get used to it.

The reason I do not think of "pci_tsm" as a "tsm_dev" is because PCI is
always a consumer of an outside of PCI TSM service provided, PCI does
not have a TSM concept internal to it.
"struct pci_dev" describes a PCI device, "struct pci_ide" - a PCI IDE stream but "struct pci_tsm" does not describe PCI TSM... Hm. Thanks,
