KsMarkPendingIrp rule ()

The KsMarkPendingIrp rule specifies that a kernel-stream (KS) miniport driver should mark IRPs as pending when returning with STATUS_PENDING from the following callback functions:

  • AVStrMiniFilterClose
  • AVStrMiniPinClose
  • AVStrMiniPinCreate

To mark the IRP as pending, use the IoMarkIrpPending routine.

Driver model: KS

Bug check(s) found with this rule: Bug Check 0xC4: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION (0x00081008)

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the KsMarkPendingIrp 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.

At run time

To verify this rule, open a Command Prompt window. Enter a Driver Verifier command and specify /domain ks.

For example:

verifier /domain ks [options] /driver <yourdriver>
