Rename "ring_mirror_list" to "pending_list", to describe what something is, not what it does, how it's used, or how the hardware implements it. This also abstracts the actual hardware implementation, i.e. how the low-level driver communicates with the device it drives, ring, CAM, etc., shouldn't be exposed to DRM. The pending_list keeps jobs submitted, which are out of our control. Usually this means they are pending execution status in hardware, but the latter definition is a more general (inclusive) definition.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
