As it currently stands the Object Manager doesn't charge any quotas when objects are created, nor it returns quotas when objects are de-allocated and freed from the objects namespace database. This alone can bring inconsistencies in the kernel as we simply don't know what is the amount charged in an object and thus we aren't keeping track of quotas flow.
Now with both PsReturnSharedPoolQuota and PsChargeSharedPoolQuota implemented, the Object Manager can now track the said flow of quotas every time an object is created or de-allocated, thus enforcing consistency with the use of quota resources.
- NtQuerySymbolicLinkObject(): Use an intermediate variable for the object header.
- Simplify code in ObpLookupEntryDirectory() by calling ObpReleaseLookupContextObject() instead.
- Use TAG_OBJECT_TYPE instead of hardcoded tag values.
- Disentangle the usage of ObpAcquireDirectoryLockExclusive() when it's
used only for accessing a directory structure, or as part of a lookup
operation.
The Obp*DirectoryLock*() -- both shared and exclusive -- functions
are only for locking an OB directory, for reading or writing its
structure members.
When performing lookup operations (insertions/deletions of entries
within a directory), use a ObpAcquireLookupContextLock() function that
exclusively locks the directory and saves extra lock state, that can
be used by ObpReleaseLookupContextObject() for cleanup.
- Add documentation for these functions.
- Rename ObDirectoryType to ObpDirectoryObjectType and remove it from NDK (this is not exported!)
- Rename ObSymbolicLinkType to ObpSymbolicLinkObjectType
- Remove duplicated ObpTypeObjectType from ob.h
