The function updates the entry in the section page table and updates the section association rmaps for it. In the page-in path, when the new section association is set before the entry is updated, a concurrent attempt to unmap the page would find an inconsistent entry, where there is an rmap, but the section page table entry is still an MM_WAIT_ENTRY.
MmGetSectionAssociation races with _MmSetPageEntrySectionSegment without sharing a lock. So we need to hold the PFN lock, until we have referenced the section segment found in the RMAP. This prevents that a section segment, which still has associated RMAPs from being deleted behind our back.
- Do not lock the section segment when we are serving a fault for a process private page.
- Do not keep the process address space lock while writing to pagefile.
- Do not wait for an event that might never be set.
Do not ditch the pages as soon as the section are unmapped
Improve MmBalancer "algorithm" (or whatever you call that)
Various needed fixes to get this going.
Previously, when creating a file section, Mm requested Cc to cache the file, then Cc would request pages from Mm, then Mm would request them back to serve its file-mapping role
Now, Mm does it all by itself. If file cahcing is requested by the FS driver, then Cc creates a file mapping and uses that to serve its purpose.
This is a rewrite of Cc
- Change INIT_FUNCTION and INIT_SECTION to CODE_SEG("INIT") and DATA_SEG("INIT") respectively
- Remove INIT_FUNCTION from function prototypes
- Remove alloc_text pragma calls as they are not needed anymore
- Sync some INIT_FUNCTION with how they are used and what is already
specified in the headers.
Addendum to commit 85e5b5be (r49445).
- KdbpGetCommandLineSettings(): Remove INIT_FUNCTION.
Fix MSVC 2015 x86 custom build:
"...\ntoskrnl\kdbg\kdb.c(1699): error C2983: 'KdbpGetCommandLineSettings': all declarations must have an identical __declspec(code_seg(...))"
And may also fix obscure bugs when entering into the KDBG debugger.
* Add an NDK header to define INIT_FUNCTION/INIT_SECTION globally
* Use _declspec(allocate(x)) and _declspec(code_seg(x)) on MSVC versions that support it
* Use INIT_FUNCTION on functions only and INIT_SECTION on data only (required by MSVC)
* Place INIT_FUNCTION before the return type (required by MSVC)
* Make sure declarations and implementations share the same modifiers (required by MSVC)
* Add a global linker option to suppress warnings about defined but unused INIT section
* Merge INIT section into .text in freeldr
Instead move to a threading model like the Windows one.
We'll queue several work items to be executed in a system thread (Cc worker)
when there are VACB that have been marked as dirty. Furthermore, some delay
will be observed before action to avoid killing the system with IOs.
This new threading model opens way for read ahead and write behind implementation.
Also, moved the initialization of the lazy writer to CcInitializeCacheManager()
it has nothing to do with views and shouldn't be initialized there.
Also, moved the lazy writer implementation to its own file.
Modified CcDeferWrite() and CcRosMarkDirtyVacb() to take into account the new threading model.
Introduced new functions:
- CcPostWorkQueue(): post an item to be handled by Cc worker and spawn a worker if required
- CcScanDpc(): called after some time (not to have lazy writer always running) to queue a lazy scan
- CcLazyWriteScan(): the lazy writer we used to have
- CcScheduleLazyWriteScan(): function to call when you want to start a lazy writer run. It will make a DPC after some time and queue execution
- CcWorkerThread(): the worker thread that will handle lazy write, read ahead, and so on
This removes the "modified page writer" thread in Mm that was regularly blindly
attempting to flush dirty pages to the disk.
Instead, this commit introduces a lazy writer that will monitor dirty pages count
and will flush them to disk when this count is above a threshold. The threshold is
computed on Cc init.
Compared to what was done previously, this lazy writer will only write down files
that are not marked as temporary.
The mechanisms involved in this lazy writer worker are well described in Windows
Internals 4th editions (constants are coming from it ;-)).
Also fixed a bad (and old!) bug in CcRosFlushDirtyPages() where target count could
be overflow and the function would spin forever while holding the VACBs lock. This is
mandatory as now lazy writer will call it with "random" values.
This also allows implementing CcWaitForCurrentLazyWriterActivity() :-).
Also renamed DirtyPageCount to its MS equivalent.
