VFS: store process suspension state as union
Previously, VFS would use various subsets of a number of fproc
structure fields to store state when the process is blocked
(suspended) for various reason
VFS: store process suspension state as union
Previously, VFS would use various subsets of a number of fproc
structure fields to store state when the process is blocked
(suspended) for various reasons. As a result, there was a fair
amount of abuse of fields, hidden state, and confusion as to
which fields were used with which suspension states.
Instead, the suspension state is now split into per-state
structures, which are then stored in a union. Each of the union's
structures should be accessed only right before, during, and right
after the fp_blocked_on field is set to the corresponding blocking
type. As a result, it is now very clear which fields are in use
at which times, and we even save a bit of memory as a side effect.
