- Remove unused includes.
- Add include guards to headers.
- Use unsigned variables in case they're never going to hold a negative
value. This causes GCC's complaints to disappear and should make flexelint
a lot happier, too.
- Make functions private when they're used only within a module.
- Remove unused variables.
- Add casts where appropriate.
A new call to vm lets processes yield a part of their memory to vm,
together with an id, getting newly allocated memory in return. vm is
allowed to forget about it if it runs out of memory. processes can ask
for it back using the same id. (These two operations are normally
combined in a single call.)
It can be used as a as-big-as-memory-will-allow block cache for
filesystems, which is how mfs now uses it.
