Subject: [NTOSKRNL] Implement write behind in Cc
X-Git-Tag: 0.4.13-dev~914
X-Git-Url: https://git.reactos.org/?p=reactos.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=7e97071c8b715b16303ac7fa00be652b17f552ec

[NTOSKRNL] Implement write behind in Cc

For now, this is just a split between scan and flush that
were both done during lazy scan previously.
Lazy scan shouldn't perform any write operation, but only
queue a write behind operation.

Our implementation is far from the original, as it seems
our lazy scan should queue a write behind operation per
shared cache map. Right now, we only perform global
operation.
