Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mnordell] 29826: First small attempt at implementing process memory quota. Currently disabled without explicit code modification (enabled by macro) to not modify behaviour of trunk.
by Alex Ionescu 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Couple of comments: 1) Why implement new, complex features in the kernel instead of fixing current bugs? I know it's fun to start hacking on new code, but priorities should be to implement stuff that's required not to break other apps/add functionality, not internal features which will take ages to implement (the Ps functions for quota are "easy", it's the Mm part that's bad). I had already written all these functions, but deleted them, because nobody needed them, and the Mm part was too complex to do. 2) Why are you bothering with PspPoolQuotaIndexFromPoolType? In case you haven't noticed, there's something called pool masks which make the operation very easy without requiring a function call (such as POOL_TYPE_MASK or BASE_POOL_MASK, forgot how it's called). 3) INT is not an acceptable kernel type. 4) We don't use "static" in the kernel. 5) Instead of duplicating code, perhaps consider calling a main worker function such as PspChargeQuota? 6) Consider using an enum instead of magic numbers inside the quota entries, I believe it's called PS_QUOTA_TYPE. 7) The quota routines require interlocks, otherwise they will not be thread safe. 8) They also require a global spinlock in the "give back" case. 9) Committing code that won't even build, even with the define on, isn't very appropriate. Trunk isn't a playground. If someone wants to actually test this, they won't be able to build it because of things like "refuse". SVN should contain code that builds at any time. It's not hard to write /* TODO */..

[ros-diffs] [greatlrd] 29788: rename dc.h to win32kdc.h rename driver.h to win32kdriver.h
by James Tabor 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi! Good job! But this is all kinds of type of wrong! There are internal calls for win32k dc.c and dcutils.c in there. What you should have done was move the DC object structure to ntgdihdl.h. So, please revert or but back dc.h and then move the DC object to ntgdihld.h where it belongs. Thanks, James

These resources have been lifted straight out of the Windows dll. Absolutley no attempt has been made to change anything. IMO, this should be removed until someone manually implements it.

ReactOS 0.3.4 Hardware Support
by Cam 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hello, I think that 0.3.4 should have most hardware regressions (floppy and vga) fixed. I know I'm not the one to say this but, we are already closer to this goal than we were with 0.3.3. Fixing the floppy regression should only involve finding the spot in which floppy is not reporting correctly to ntoskrnl. I did some tests on this issue and it fails on line 596-598 of ntoskrnl\io\iomgr\volume.c and floppy was never mounted as the status reported was STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR from line 1017-1021 in drivers\storage\floppy\floppy.c. I don't know much about the vga regression but I'd think that it may only require a few days work to find and fix the issue. We already have SATA support included with trunk (uniata.sys) and SCSI is also working now. -aicommander

Porting ReactOS to the L4 micro-kernel
by Henning Schild 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Hi there, i am thinking of porting ros to the L4 micro-kernel as topic for my diploma thesis. The operating systems group in Dresden already ported Linux to L4 (http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/L4/LinuxOnL4/) and proofed that L4 offers all that is needed to run an operating system in userspace on top of it. The goal of the work would be to be able to run windows applications next to miro-kernel applications. And to compare the performance with that of pure ros, L4Linux/wine and windows. A comparison between the port and L4Linux could also be part of the work. (mapping processes to L4 tasks, memory management, interrupt-handling and so on) I am not very experienced in C or assembler programming but am motivated to learn. But before i start working on that topic i have some questions on the portability of ros. In svn and on the ros website i found that there is a ppc port of ros. And on irc someone told me that there is ongoing work on a ros usermode port. I also read about a xen port. But i did not yet find working copies of the any of that ports. I built ros for i386 on my machine and was able to boot it in vmware. I also tried building the latest svn version with ROS_ARCH=powerpc but that did not succeed. 1. Did anyone ever finish a port to another arch? 2. How portable is ros in general? Meaning how much code would have to be changed. I hope there are abstractions and only 10-15% of the kernel would have to be changed. 3. Do you believe that one person new to ros can finish that kind of work in 6 months? I know that might be hard to answer but how long did any of you need to learn ros in detail? 4. If there are working ports, how long did it take to implement them? If there are not, what are the reasons they where never finished? I am thinking of lots of assembler and i386 hacks. 5. Finally, what do think of the idea itself? I hope you take the time to answer my questions. I am still on the way to determine whether i really want to do that and whether i can do this in 6 months. regards, Henning Schild

Re: [ros-dev] Targeting multiple Windows versions
by Aleksey Bragin 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi Marc, the patch / bug IS valid, Magnus made a mistake and closed it. I wanted to do the same, but it's rather timeconsuming, so I appreciate you took the first steps. Still, some modules may require setting some specific version - that's allright, we can leave some exceptions for now, but otherwise, version number should be set globally, not in every .rbuild file (which is so wrong). WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mnordell] 29653: Patch from aicommander. Actually copy uniata.sys from the installation media, and disable VGA resolution selection as VGA is broken.

Shouldn't it be finally fixed, instead? I don't know who broke it. Was it Magnus with the "No PNP videocard" commit? WBR, Aleksey Bragin.
