- Need to remove old versions
- Need to merge the two.
- Need to investigate occasional page fault on NMOP sequence. (resembles an error ipc_extended test)
Could be related to new page cache read/write routines.
test0 now successfully runs its beginning.
test0 SConscript has a dependency problem.
Issues to be investigated:
- vm_file and vnodes need to be merged fully in all functions.
- libposix shared page references need to be removed.
- Any references to VFS_TID, PAGER_TID need to be removed.
Changes:
It is now possible to use do_mmap() from within mm0.
- pager_new_virtual()/delete_virtual() return addresses that are
disjoint from find_unmapped_area() used by mmap() interface for
anonymous or not-fixed areas.
- find_unmapped_area() now uses task->map_start task->map_end instead
of task->start and task->end. task->start/end are still valid task
space addresses for mmap(), but finding a new address is limited to
map_start/map_end.
- We have both interfaces because mmap() is only useful for backed-files.
When the pager needs to access a user memory range for example, that is
not backed by a file and thus we need to use pager_new_virtual() instead
of mmap() for mapping.
It might be a good idea to simply use mmap() from inside the pager and prefault it
as a conventional way of mapping internal buffers. Will be investigated.
- This would open the way that all internal buffer mapping is
done in a standard way
- Standard syscalls would be possible to use from within the pager.
