Declare the MmRaisePoolQuota and MmReturnPoolQuota prototypes in the header and add some definitions related to pool quotas, namely MmTotalNonPagedPoolQuota and MmTotalPagedPoolQuota. These variables are used internally by the kernel as sort of "containers" (for the lack of a better term)
which uphold the amount of quotas that the Process Manager is requesting the Memory Manager to raise or return the pool quota limit. In addition to that, add some definitions needed for both of these functions.
The definitions, MI_CHARGE_PAGED_POOL_QUOTA and MI_CHARGE_NON_PAGED_POOL_QUOTA respectively, bear some interesting aspect. Seemingly the 0x80000 and 0x10000 values (that would denote to 524288 and 65536 specifically) are used as quota "limits" or in other words, thresholds that the kernel
uses. So for example if one would want to raise the quota limit charge, MmRaisePoolQuota will raise it so based on this formula -- NewMaxQuota = CurrentQuota + LIMIT_VALUE. LIMIT_VALUE can be either MI_CHARGE_PAGED_POOL_QUOTA or MI_CHARGE_NON_PAGED_POOL_QUOTA, depending a per quota pool basis.
What's more interesting is that these values are pervasive in Process Manager even. This is when quotas are to be returned back and trim the limit of the quota block if needed, the kernel would either take the amount provided by the caller of quotas to return or the threshold (paged or not paged)
if the amount to return exceeds the said threshold in question.
Properly handle PDE refcounting
Clean-up of the internal API
Enforce attaching to the process when modifying its memory layout, instead of
making circonvoluted mappings which always end up being broken.
- 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
- Remove IopCreateDriver and put its code into IoCreateDriver and
IopInitializeDriverModule. It's hard to extract a meaningful common
part from it
- Refactor IopInitializeDriverModule. Extend and put the DriverName
generation logic into it. Now this function frees the ModuleObject in
case of failure and returns STATUS_FAILED_DRIVER_ENTRY in case of
DriverInit failure (will be used later)
- 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
