Diffs

[evanlang@uss.lonestar.org (Evan Langlois)]

OK, I have finally worked all the bugs out of my file cookie cache
routines.  Well, all the serious ones :-)  There are a few left where
a cache entry is found when it shouldn't have been and sometimes the
system will think a file is still in use when it isn't.  These will
have to be fixed gradually (the entire fcookie cache code is ifdef'd
so you can compile without it).

My changes are relative to Mint 1.10 h5 (with some other patches that
didn't make it until h6).  Now h7 is out.  How do I apply the patches
for h7 AND my own??  What diff command will create the proper diffs?
Do I use diff3?  And if so, how?   I've gotten out of sync and I need
help.

Tests are real good.  Preliminary tests bring 2 minutes 18 sec.s down
to 1 minute 14 seconds.  And another test that was an unbearable 7
minutes and 6 seconds dropped to only 3 minutes and 4 seconds.  So,
access is down to half the time on average!   

Oh, I don't think the hacks that make VDI and AES allocates memory
M_KEEP are useful.  Under normal TOS, wouldn't this memory be attached
to the process and free'd on exit??  I get no memory leaks at all
changing the last of these so that memory allocation from the ROMs is
no longer kept.  I'm not sure if this breaks memory protection, but
before I would lose a small amount of memory when some GEM programs
quit, so perhaps maybe VDI and AES memory SHOULD be free'd on process
exit ??

As soon as someone tells how to go about making this diff, I'll post
em and you can start fixing the last of the problems <grin>.  Either
that or I'll make the diffs and then apply them to the new kernel by
hand.  Most of the changes are large blocks and not one-liners, so
I should be able to make the changes.   Should this relative to h8?

Thanks!
