This fixes shutting down ReactOS under certain circumstances, where
the references were incremented, but no worker thread started.
Also, took the opportunity to clarify the WorkerReferences comparisons
where relevant.
CORE-16446
This fixes memory smashing while attempting to volume
reparse index (we were previously trying to copy the
name on itself, in the middle of itself...).
This code won't go farther on FAT, it requires NTFS.
Now, with this, ReactOS can properly boot with MountMgr
handling DOS devices without any crash or code disabled.
Cf: what was written in 7608ac9.
Modifications in class2, disk, and ntoskrnl are still to
be committed to enable all this.
- Properly quit the active loop when we're out of work items;
- Fix timeout duration (setting it to 1s);
- Fix handling the "Unloading" variable in case of a shutdown
so that waiting loop is properly stopped;
- Documented why we're waiting on VolumesSafeForWriteAccess.
This fixes shutting down ReactOS with work items queued.
This is needed here because no one ever sets that event (properly)
created by SMSS though. A. Ionescu was explaining in 2018 that it's
autochk responsibility, but it doesn't seem to be the case in W2K3.
To be investigated.
This fix with all the previous ones and more uncommitted stuff (yet ;-))
allows reaching the first steps towards a NT5 storage stack:
