Slab cache

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, do we need the slab cache in ntoskrnl\mm\slab.c? I've replaced the kmap functions (ntoskrnl\mm\kmap.c) by a process local mapping (hyperspace). The slab cache needs the mapping for a longer time and cannot use the hyperspace mapping. I would remove the slab cache, because it is not used by any of the kernel functions. - Hartmut

user mode exceptions

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, on a user mode exception, I get hundreds of lines like this: (i386/exception.c:96) RtlpDispatchException() Dumping exception registrations: (0x0065FFE0) HANDLER (0x7C82CEAF) (0x7FFDF000) HANDLER (0x00000000) (i386/exception.c:96) RtlpDispatchException() Dumping exception registrations: (0x0065FFE0) HANDLER (0x7C82CEAF) (0x7FFDF000) HANDLER (0x00000000) (i386/exception.c:96) RtlpDispatchException() Dumping exception registrations: It needs a very large time, if ros does response again. It occurs on real hardware. Debugprints are going over a serial line. - Hartmut

But we use them on each directory except the root. The index from fcb is also used to update the entry of a file in its parent directory. For looking for a directory, '.' has index 0, '..' has index 1 and 'foo' has index 2 and so on. The real index of 'foo' is 0. We must make a difference between the real and the search index. I've modified some parts of freeldr and usetup. I can create and install ros on a fatx partition on a normal pc. I've also load vfatfs on W2K. At the beginning, the wrong index has scrambled the fatx partition. - Hartmut

And do you describe a program that CERT advises people not to use as "works"? But lets not argue over this. My reason for posting my commments is simply because I think some of us are only aiming at implementing a clone whereas I feel we should be striving to create a compatible OS that is even better, and I get the impression from the faq on the wiki site that was one of the reasons for this project's existence. But on the other hand that risks becoming bogged down in discussion about how things should be done. If at the end of the day we end up with nothing more than an open source clone of Windows that I can hack on I will still be happy.
