wm4 236577af09 cache: use threads instead of fork() ... Basically rewrite all the code supporting the cache (i.e. anything other than the ringbuffer logic). The underlying design is untouched. Note that the old cache2.c (on which this code is based) already had a threading implementation. This was mostly unused on Linux, and had some problems, such as using shared volatile variables for communication and uninterruptible timeouts, instead of using locks for synchronization. This commit does use proper locking, while still retaining the way the old cache worked. It's basically a big refactor. Simplify the code too. Since we don't need to copy stream ctrl args anymore (we're always guaranteed a shared address space now), lots of annoying code just goes away. Likewise, we don't need to care about sector sizes. The cache uses the high-level stream API to read from other streams, and sector sizes are handled transparently.		2013-06-16 22:05:09 +02:00
