Operating System Routines

EXE$CREDIT_BYTCNT, EXE$CREDIT_BYTCNT_BYTLM

Description

EXE$CREDIT_BYTCNT provides a synchronized method of crediting a job’s byte

count quota to JIB$L_BYTCNT. EXE$CREDIT_BYTCNT_BYTLM also credits a

job’s byte limit to JIB$L_BYTLM.

Both routines round the value speciﬁed in R0 up to the nearest 16-byte boundary

before applying it to the JIB. Both check JIB$V_BYTCNT_WAITERS to determine

if any process is waiting for the return of nonpaged pool quota for this JIB. If a

process is waiting, EXE$CREDIT_BYTCNT calls a system routine that attempts

to ﬁll any pending requests.
