The cache manager rewrite I started years ago has finally appeared in ReactOS' trunk and although at this point it's not quite perfectly integrated, it's enough to boot up the bootcd or livecd. To check out the more mature original, check out arty-newcc-reactos, branch arty-newcc on bitbucket.org . Amine Khaldi encouraged me quite a bit to not give up on it, and was able to reach out and be an advocate when i really wasn't able to. Others agree that the time has come to begin removing the old cache manager. I expect the remaining problems in the version going to trunk will be taken care of relatively quickly. The motivation for this effort lies in the particularly hairy relationship between ReactOS' cache manager and data sections. This code completely removes page sharing between cache manager and section and reimagines cache manager as being a facility layered on the memory manager, not really caring about individual pages, but simply managing data section objects where caching might occur. It took me about 2 years to do the first pass of this rewrite and most of this year to fix some lingering issues, properly implement demand paging in ReactOS (code which didn't come with this patch in a recognizable form), and finish getting the PrivateCacheMap and SharedCacheMap relationship correct. Currently, the new ntoskrnl/cache directory contains an own implementation of data file sections. After things have settled down, we can begin to deprecate and remove the parts of ReactOS' section implementation that depend on a close relationship with cache manager. Eventually, I think that the extra code added to ntoskrnl/cache/section will be removed and ReactOS' own sections will replace the use of the special MM_CACHE_SECTION_SEGMENT in the cache path. Note also, that this makes all cache manager (and new section parts) use wide file offsets. If my section code were to take over other parts of the ReactOS memory manager, they would also benefit from these improvements. I invite anyone who wants to to peek at this code and fix whatever bugs can be found. svn path=/trunk/; revision=49423 |
