Windows: Negative Caching for Volume Lookups
If a volume lookup returns VL_NOENT or VL_BADNAME, cache the negative
response for five minutes. This prevents volume lookup storms caused
by the same volume lookup being performed repeated during a short
time period. This can happen if mount points to volumes that do not
exist are present in a directory that is being evaluated by Windows
Explorer or Common Control File Dialogs.
This functionality is implemented by storing the most recent update
time for the volume group as part of the cm_volume_t. A non-existing
volume group is identified with a new CM_VOLUMEFLAG_NOEXIST flag.
The presence of the lastUpdateTime value also permits volume location
information to expire at lastUpdateTime + lifetime instead of expiring
all volume information simultaneously each lifetime period.
