Not sure where you want to add this.  coding.c already says:

  /* Name (or base name) of work buffer for code conversion.  */
  Lisp_Object Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name;

  /* A working buffer used by the top level conversion.  Once it is
     created, it is never destroyed.  It has the name
     Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name.  The other working buffers are
     destroyed after the use is finished, and their names are modified
     versions of Vcode_conversion_workbuf_name.  */
  static Lisp_Object Vcode_conversion_reused_workbuf;

  /* True iff Vcode_conversion_reused_workbuf is already in use.  */
  static bool reused_workbuf_in_use;

is that what you wanted to see?

You mean code_conversion_save, I presume.

One of those calls to Fget_buffer_create shouldn't generate a new
name, though.  It should always use a fixed name.
