MdlAfterReqCompletedWrite rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The MdlAfterReqCompletedWrite rule specifies that within the EvtIoWrite callback function, the memory descriptor list (MDL) object retrieved cannot be accessed after the I/O request is completed.

Within the driver's EvtIoWrite callback function for a device's I/O queue, the request buffer that was retrieved by calling the WdfRequestRetrieveInputWdmMdl method cannot be accessed after calling WdfRequestComplete, WdfRequestCompleteWithInformation, or WdfRequestCompleteWithPriorityBoost on the I/O request.

This rule considers the following two MDL access methods:

WdfRequestRetrieveOutputWdmMdl WdfRequestRetrieveInputWdmMdl

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the MdlAfterReqCompletedWrite 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.
