Module Name:
balmgr.c
Abstract:
This module implements the NT balance set manager. Normally the kernel does not contain "policy" code. However, the balance set manager needs to be able to traverse the kernel data structures and, therefore, the code has been located as logically part of the kernel.
The balance set manager performs the following operations:
1. Makes the kernel stack of threads that have been waiting for a certain amount of time, nonresident.
2. Removes processes from the balance set when memory gets tight and brings processes back into the balance set when there is more memory available.
3. Makes the kernel stack resident for threads whose wait has been completed, but whose stack is nonresident.
4. Arbitrarily boosts the priority of a selected set of threads to prevent priority inversion in variable priority levels.
In general, the balance set manager only is active during periods when memory is tight.
