- 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
* 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
This halfplements CcScheduleReadAhead() which is responsible for finding the next reads
to perform given last read and previous reads. I made it very basic for now, at least
to test the whole process.
This also introduces the CcExpressWorkQueue in the lazy writer which is responsible
for dealing with read ahead items and which is dealt with before the regular queue.
In CcCopyData(), if read was fine, schedule read ahead so that it can happen in background
without the FSD to notice it! Also, update the read history so that scheduling as a
bit of data.
Implement (à la "old Cc" ;-)) CcPerformReadAhead() which is responsible for performing
the read. It's only to be called by the worker thread.
Side note on the modifications done in CcRosReleaseFileCache(). Private cache map
is tied to a handle. If it goes away, private cache map gets deleted. Read ahead
can run after the handle was closed (and thus, private cache map deleted), so
it is mandatory to always lock the master lock before accessing the structure in
read ahead or before deleting it in CcRosReleaseFileCache(). Otherwise, you'll
just break everything. You've been warned!
This commit also partly reverts f8b5d27.
CORE-14312
We get rid of the old iLazyWriterNotify event in favor of work items
that contain an event that lazy writer will set once its done.
To implement this, we rely on the newly introduced CcPostTickWorkQueue work queue
that will contain work items that are to be queued once lazy writer is done.
Move the CcWaitForCurrentLazyWriterActivity() implementation to the
lazy writer file, and reimplemented it using the new support mechanisms
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
Namely, implement CcSetDirtyPageThreshold() and add support for it
in CcCanIWrite().
Also added my name in the headers of the few files I touched tonight.
CORE-14235
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.
