By designating a committed page pool we can guarantee to have physical
pages available for lazy allocation in mappings. However, when forking
we will overcommit. The assumption is that worst-case it's better for
the fork to die due to insufficient physical memory on COW access than
the parent that created the region. If a fork wants to ensure that all
memory is available (trigger a commit) then it can use madvise.
This also means that fork now can gracefully fail if we don't have
enough physical pages available.
This assertion cannot be safely/reliably made in the
~SharedInodeVMObject destructor. The problem is that
Inode::is_shared_vmobject holds a weak reference to the instance
that is being destroyed (ref count 0). Checking the pointer using
WeakPtr::unsafe_ptr will produce nullptr depending on timing in
this case, and WeakPtr::safe_ref will reliably produce a nullptr
as soon as the reference count drops to 0. The only case where
this assertion could succeed is when WeakPtr::unsafe_ptr returned
the pointer because it won the race against revoking it. And
because WeakPtr::safe_ref will always return a nullptr, we cannot
reliably assert this from the ~SharedInodeVMObject destructor.
Fixes#4621
We now have PrivateInodeVMObject and SharedInodeVMObject, corresponding
to MAP_PRIVATE and MAP_SHARED respectively.
Note that PrivateInodeVMObject is not used yet.
