source: trunk/kernel/libk/user_dir.h @ 651

Last change on this file since 651 was 651, checked in by alain, 4 years ago

1) Improve the VMM MMAP allocator: implement the "buddy" algorithm
to allocate only aligned blocks.
2) fix a bug in the pthread_join() / pthread_exit() mmechanism.

35 * This file defines the operations on a directory open by an user process
36 *
37 * - An user process open a directory by calling the "opendir()" syscall.
38 *   The user_dir_create() function allocates physical memory to create in the cluster
39 *   containing the directory inode one or several physical pages to implement an array
40 *   of "dirent". This array is mapped in the user process space as an ANON vseg.
41 *   It allocates also an "user_dir_t" descriptor structure defined below, registered
42 *   in the xlist rooted in the reference user process descriptor.
43 * - This "user_dir_t" structure contains the total number of "entries", the "current"
44 *   pointer used by the readdir() syscall, and an "ident" field, that is actually
45 *   the DIR user pointer on the "dirent" array in user space.
46 * - all these structures are destroyed by the closedir() syscall, that release to the
47 *   kernel all allocated memory.
48 *
49 * WARNING: ALMOS-MKH makes explicitely the assumption that sizeof(dirent) == 64
