Remove the hardcoded "AHCI Scattered DMA" for region name as it is a
part of a common API. Add region_name parameter to the try_create API
so that this API can be used by other drivers with the correct Memory
region name.
The constructor code of ScatterGatherList had code that can return
error. Move it to try_create for better error propagation.
This removes one TODO() and one
release_value_but_fixme_should_propagate_errors().
This removes the TODO from the try_create API to return ErrorOr. This
is also a preparation patch to move the init code in the constructor
that can fail to this try_create function.
I believe this to be safe, as the main thing that LockRefPtr provides
over RefPtr is safe copying from a shared LockRefPtr instance. I've
inspected the uses of RefPtr<PhysicalPage> and it seems they're all
guarded by external locking. Some of it is less obvious, but this is
an area where we're making continuous headway.
Until now, our kernel has reimplemented a number of AK classes to
provide automatic internal locking:
- RefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr
- WeakPtr
- Weakable
This patch renames the Kernel classes so that they can coexist with
the original AK classes:
- RefPtr => LockRefPtr
- NonnullRefPtr => NonnullLockRefPtr
- WeakPtr => LockWeakPtr
- Weakable => LockWeakable
The goal here is to eventually get rid of the Lock* classes in favor of
using external locking.
Instead of having two separate implementations of AK::RefCounted, one
for userspace and one for kernelspace, there is now RefCounted and
AtomicRefCounted.
