IoSetCompletionRoutineExCheckDeviceObject rule (wdm)

The IoSetCompletionRoutineExCheckDeviceObject rule specifies that if the current device object is not passed to IoSetCompletionRoutineEx and the lower device object is, this can lead to a race condition where the current device object could be unloaded even though the completion routine has not run.

Driver model: WDM

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the IoSetCompletionRoutineExCheckDeviceObject rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
