WdfWaitlockRelease rule (kmdf)

The WdfWaitlockRelease rule specifies that calls to WdfWaitLockAcquire and WdfWaitLockRelease are used in a balanced way within a KMDF event callback function. When the KMDF event callback function returns, the driver should not hold the framework spin lock object that was obtained by a previous call to WdfWaitLockAcquire.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time
Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the WdfWaitlockRelease rule. Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code: Prepare your code (use role type declarations). Run Static Driver Verifier. View and analyze the results. For more information, see Using Static Driver Verifier to Find Defects in Drivers.
