Subject: [newlib-cygwin] forkables: Keep hardlinks disabled via shared mem.
Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2019 11:37:00 -0000	[thread overview]

    forkables: Keep hardlinks disabled via shared mem.
    
    To avoid the need for each process to check the filesystem to detect
    that hardlink creation is impossible or disabled, cache this fact in
    shared memory.  Removing cygfork directory while in use does disable
    hardlinks creation.  To (re-)enable hardlinks creation, the cygfork
    directory has to exist before the first cygwin process does fork.
    
    	* forkable.cc (dll_list::forkable_ntnamesize): Short cut
    	forkables needs to impossible when disabled via shared memory.
    	(dll_list::update_forkables_needs): When detecting hardlink
    	creation as impossible (not on NTFS) while still (we are the
    	first one checking) enabled via shared memory, disable the
    	shared memory value.
    	(dll_list::request_forkables): Disable the shared memory value
    	when hardlinks creation became disabled, that is when the
    	cygfork directory was removed.
    	* include/cygwin/version.h: Bump CYGWIN_VERSION_SHARED_DATA 6.
    	* shared_info.h (struct shared_info): Add member
    	prefer_forkable_hardlinks.  Update CURR_SHARED_MAGIC.
    	* shared.cc (shared_info::initialize): Initialize
    	prefer_forkable_hardlinks to 1 (Yes).
