Before any write operation that would involve caching, ask
the cache controler whether writing would make it exceed its memory
consumption. If so, queue the write operation for later execution.
In case the write operation can wait, then, the FSD operation will be
halted until the write is allowed.
I could test it successfully by copying huge files from a FAT volume to
another. The write is halted until some portions of the file is written
to the disk.
I could also properly install Qt (SDK) on ReactOS with this and less than 1GB RAM:

Adjusting refcount and enabling lazy-write for pinned
VACB makes it actually more efficient, often purging
data to disk, reducing memory stress for the system.
This is required for defering writes.
This commit unfortunately (?) reverts a previous revert.

- Read the driver settings from the registry.
- Write the driver settings to the registry.
- Make the read-only edit control for the input buffer length look like a non-read-only one because it is controlled by the up-down control.
This is a PoC of what it's possible to realize thanks to an
already existing hack in ntoskrnl :-).
With this extension, on the kdb:> prompt, you're able to type
in commands that will be handled by the FastFAT driver and not
by the kernel, allowing internal debug, not possible otherwise.
So far, three commands exist:
- ?fat.vols: lists all the mounted volumes by FastFAT
- ?fat.files: lists all the files on a specific volume (with their attributes)
- ?fat.setdbgfile: allows watching on specifics files lifetime
This is obviously only the begin and could be greatly improved.
For instance, this is what allowed to debug CORE-14557
- Perform an immediate system shutdown if the timeout is zero, otherwise
display the countdown shutdown dialog.
- Cleanup pShutdownParams->pszMessage as soon as the dialog goes away.
- It actually appears (tested on Windows 2000 and 2003) that sending
WM_CLOSE messages from a user-mode app to the shutdown dialog really
do nothing (and in particular does not cancel the shutdown!), so modify
the code to take this fact into account.
This allows to break commands such as:
C:\ReactOS\system32> for %f in (*.*) do dir
as one would expect: stop the currently running 'dir' and the 'for'.
"bCtrlBreak" doesn't need to be volatile too.
Using CTRL-C to cancel command line input would leave the prompt in
a state where the next command would be ignored. For example:
dir<CTRL-C>
dir
would cause cmd.exe to ignore the second dir command.

The standard Win32 Console Control Handler will give CTRL-C events to
processes spawned from cmd.exe. If cmd.exe calls GenerateConsolCtrlEvent()
then the child process will receive two CTRL-C events.
Once a directory is crossed (opened or a child is opened), associated
FCB structure is created in FastFAT, but also a stream FO for caching.
Up to now, due to an extra reference taken by the stream file object,
even when the directory was no longer used, the directory was kept in
memory: the FCB was never deleted, the file object was never dereferenced,
and the cache never released.
The immediate effect of this bug is that our FAT driver was leaking every
directory that was used affecting the whole OS situation. In case of
directories intensive operation (like extraction the ReactOS source code
in ReactOS ;-)), we were just killin the whole OS RAM without any way to
release it and recover.
The other side effects: IOs were faster as half of the FS was always
permanant in RAM.
This commit fixes the issue by forcing the FSD to release the FO,
and the cache when a directory is no longer used, leading to its
destruction in RAM.
Downside: on IO intensive operation, expect slowdowns, obviously,
there's less caching now. But more efficient!
CORE-14557
When no name is set in the file object, try to read the name
from the FCB. We only support FastFAT (ours) FCB for now.
This is clearly a hack, but for a kdbg command, so ;-)
It seems that on process killing, some VACB may be deleted while
still mapped. With current reference counting, they will actually
not be deleted, but leaked, and an ASSERT will be triggered.

This fixes closing nLite 1.4.9.3 (.NET2) application, as well as any
other program that expects that the interactive window station is
reported as being visible. I thank Mark Jansen and Joachim Henze for
help and testing.
- Allow the driver to be unloaded, as on Windows.
- Use a static fast IO dispatch table, instead of allocating one and
risking any potential memory allocation failure.
- Update the file header.
- For non-PnP devices reported to the PnP manager through the
IoReportDetectedDevice() function, store the corresponding
service/driver name and (non-)legacy information inside their
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\ entries.
- Drivers flagged as "DRVO_BUILTIN_DRIVER" (basically, only those
created via a IoCreateDriver() call) have their "Service" name that
contain "\Driver\", which should be stripped before being used in
building e.g. the corresponding "DETECTEDxxx" PnP compatible IDs.

- Use explicit REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE flag where needed in the
IopCreateDeviceKeyPath() calls.
- Save NULL-terminated REG-SZ string properties in the enumeration tree
for each device enumerated inside \Enum\Root\.
- Always use upcased key name for the "LEGACY_***" elements in \Enum\Root\.
- Add a default "ConfigFlags" value for the legacy elements.
- Simplify few parts of code.
