Kernel

Standard driver routines must be implemented by your driver. Driver support routines are routines that the Windows operating system provides. Drivers do not use Microsoft Win32 routines; instead, they use the driver support routines that this section describes.

The driver support routines in this section are organized by kernel-mode managers and libraries.

  • Standard Driver Routines

    Here are the required and optional routines that you must implement in your driver to respond to calls from Windows or other drivers. When these routines are called, your code must respond to the call and return the appropriate data in a timely manner.

    The following routines are required for all drivers:

    The other routines are optional, but you may need to implement them depending on your driver type and the location of your driver in the device stack.

    For more information about standard driver routines, see Introduction to Standard Driver Routines.

The following routines are reserved for system use. Do not use them in your driver.

  • HalAcquireDisplayOwnership
  • HalAllocateAdapterChannel. Use AllocateAdapterChannel instead.
  • HalAllocateCrashDumpRegisters
  • HalAllocateMapRegisters
  • HalGetScatterGatherList. Use GetScatterGatherList instead.
  • HalMakeBeep
  • HalPutDmaAdapter. Use PutDmaAdapter instead.
  • HalPutScatterGatherList. Use PutScatterGatherList instead.

The following obsolete routines are exported only to support existing drivers:

Obsolete routine Replacement
HalAllocateCommonBuffer See AllocateCommonBuffer instead.
HalAssignSlotResources Drivers of PnP devices are assigned resources by the PnP manager, which passes resource lists with each IRP_MN_START_DEVICE request. Drivers that must support a legacy device that cannot be enumerated by the PnP manager should use IoReportDetectedDevice and IoReportResourceForDetection.
HalFreeCommonBuffer See FreeCommonBuffer instead.
HalGetAdapter See IoGetDmaAdapter instead.
HalGetBusData Instead, use IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE to query the GUID_BUS_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. This query request returns a function pointer to GetBusData, which can be used to read from the configuration space of a given device.
HalGetBusDataByOffset Instead, use IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE to query the GUID_BUS_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. This query request returns a function pointer to GetBusData, which can be used to read from the configuration space of a given device.
HalGetDmaAlignmentRequirement See GetDmaAlignment instead.
HalGetInterruptVector Drivers of PnP devices are assigned resources by the PnP manager, which passes resource lists with each IRP_MN_START_DEVICE request. Drivers that must support a legacy device that cannot be enumerated by the PnP manager should use IoReportDetectedDevice and IoReportResourceForDetection.
HalReadDmaCounter See ReadDmaCounter instead.
HalSetBusData Instead, use IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE to query the GUID_BUS_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. This query request returns a function pointer to SetBusData, which can be used to write to the configuration space of a given device.
HalSetBusDataByOffset Instead, use IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE to query the GUID_BUS_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. This query request returns a function pointer to SetBusData, which can be used to write to the configuration space of a given device.
HalTranslateBusAddress The PnP manager passes lists of raw and translated resources in its IIRP_MN_START_DEVICE request for each device. Consequently, in most cases there is no need to translate bus addresses. However, if translation is required, use IRP_MN_QUERY_INTERFACE to query the GUID_BUS_INTERFACE_STANDARD interface. The query request returns a function pointer to TranslateBusAddress, which can be used to translates addresses on the parent bus to logical addresses.

These obsolete routines are included in the Ntddk.h header file.

The following routine is not supported and should not be used:

  • HalReturnToFirmware

Windows performs resource balancing of PCI bus resources to open an address region for a plugged device. The rebalance operation causes the bus data for some driver's device to move dynamically (between IRP_MN_STOP_DEVICE and IRP_MN_START_DEVICE calls). Therefore, a driver must not access the bus data directly. Instead the driver must pass it down to the lower bus driver because it knows the location of the device.

For more information, see Stopping a Device to Rebalance Resources.

Power management routines

The Windows power management architecture provides a comprehensive approach to power management supported at the component (subdevice) level, in addition to the system level and the device level.

Kernel-mode drivers call the PoXxx routines to perform power management for the devices that they control. This section contains the reference pages for these routines. The PoXxx routines are declared in the Wdm.h header file.

For more information about power management, see Power Management for Windows Drivers.

Device power management

Starting with Windows 8, drivers can divide their device hardware into multiple logical components to enable fine-grained power management. A component has a set of power states that can be managed independently of the power states of other components in the same device. In the F0 state, the component is fully turned on. The component might support additional, low-power states F1, F2, and so on.

The power policy owner for a device is typically the device's function driver. To enable component-level power management, this driver registers the device with the power management framework (PoFx). By registering the device, the driver assumes the responsibility for informing PoFx when a component is actively being used and when the component is idle. PoFx makes intelligent idle state choices for the device based on information about the component activity, latency tolerance, expected idle durations, and wake requirements. By controlling power usage at the component level, PoFx can reduce power requirements while preserving system responsiveness. For more information, see Component-Level Power Management.

This section describes the routines that are implemented by the power management framework (PoFx) to enable device power management. These routines are called by the driver that is the power policy owner (PPO) for a device. Typically, the function driver for a device is the PPO for this device.

Device power management callbacks

Device power management callbacks are the callback routines that are required by the power management framework (PoFx) to enable device power management. The driver that is the power policy owner for the device implements these callback routines. PoFx calls these routines to query and configure the power states of the components in the device.

IRPs

Microsoft Windows use I/O Request Packets (IRPs) to send messages to device drivers. An IRP is a data structure that contains specific information used to convey the status of an event. For more information about the IRP data structure, see IRP and IRP Major Function Codes.

Your driver can use System-Supplied Driver Interfaces to send IRPs to other drivers.

In addition to the Standard IRP Codes, there are three additional types of IRPs for specific technologies:

This section describes kernel-mode support routines that drivers can call:

  • While processing IRPs.

  • To allocate and set up IRPs for requests from higher-level drivers to lower drivers.

  • To use file objects.

Processing IRPs

Function Description
IoGetCurrentIrpStackLocation Returns a pointer to the caller's I/O stack location in a given IRP.
IoGetNextIrpStackLocation Returns a pointer to the next-lower-level driver's I/O stack location in a given IRP.
IoCopyCurrentIrpStackLocationToNext Copies the IRP stack parameters from the current stack location to the stack location of the next-lower driver and allows the current driver to set an I/O completion routine.
IoSkipCurrentIrpStackLocation Copies the IRP stack parameters from the current stack location to the stack location of the next-lower driver and does not allow the current driver to set an I/O completion routine.
IoGetRelatedDeviceObject Returns a pointer to the device object represented by a given file object.
IoGetFunctionCodeFromCtlCode Returns the value of the function field within a given IOCTL_XXX or FSCTL_XXX code.
IoValidateDeviceIoControlAccess Verifies that the sender of an IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL or IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL IRP has the access specified.
IoSetCompletionRoutine Registers a driver-supplied IoCompletion routine for an IRP, so the IoCompletion routine is called when the next-lower-level driver has completed the requested operation in one or more of the following ways: successfully, with an error, or by canceling the IRP.
IoSetCompletionRoutineEx Same as IoSetCompletionRoutine, except that it guarantees a non-Plug and Play driver is not unloaded before the IoCompletion routine exits.
IoCallDriver Sends an IRP to a lower-level driver.
PoCallDriver Sends an IRP with major function code IRP_MJ_POWER to the next-lower driver.
IoForwardIrpSynchronously Sends an IRP to a lower-level driver synchronously.
IoMarkIrpPending Marks a given IRP indicating that STATUS_PENDING was returned because further processing is required by another driver routine or by a lower-level driver.
IoStartPacket Calls the driver's StartIo routine with the given IRP for the given device object or inserts the IRP into the device queue if the device is already busy, specifying whether the IRP is cancelable.
IoSetStartIoAttributes Sets attributes for when the driver's StartIo routine will execute.
IoAcquireCancelSpinLock Synchronizes cancelable state transitions for IRPs in a multiprocessor-safe manner.
IoSetCancelRoutine Sets or clears the Cancel routine in an IRP. Setting a Cancel routine makes an IRP cancelable.
IoReleaseCancelSpinLock Releases the cancel spin lock when the driver has changed the cancelable state of an IRP or releases the cancel spin lock from the driver's Cancel routine.
IoCancelIrp Marks an IRP as canceled.
IoReadPartitionTable Returns a list of partitions on a disk with a given sector size.
IoSetPartitionInformation Sets the partition type and number for a (disk) partition.
IoWritePartitionTable Writes partition tables for a disk, given the device object representing the disk, the sector size, and a pointer to a buffer containing the drive geometry.

If the result is TRUE, a removable-media driver must call IoSetHardErrorOrVerifyDevice before completing the IRP.
IoSetHardErrorOrVerifyDevice Supplies the device object for which the given IRP was failed due to a user-induced error, such as supplying the incorrect media for the requested operation or changing the media before the requested operation was completed. A file system driver uses the associated device object to notify the user, who can then correct the error or retry the operation.
IoRaiseHardError Notifies the user that the given IRP was failed on the given device object for an optional VPB, so that the user can correct the error or retry the operation.

IoStartNextPacketByKey Dequeues the next IRP for a device object according to a specified sort-key value, specifies whether the IRP is cancelable, and calls the driver's StartIo routine.
IoCompleteRequest Completes an I/O request, giving a priority boost to the original caller and returning a given IRP to the I/O system for disposal: either to call any IoCompletion routines supplied by higher-level drivers, or to return status to the original requester of the operation.
IoGetCurrentProcess Returns a pointer to the current process. Useful only to highest-level drivers.

Driver-allocated IRPs

Function Description
oBuildAsynchronousFsdRequest Allocates and sets up an IRP that specifies a major function code (IRP_MJ_PNP, IRP_MJ_READ, IRP_MJ_WRITE, IRP_MJ_SHUTDOWN, or IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS) with a pointer to: The lower driver's device object on which the I/O should occur. A buffer that will contain the data to be read or that contains the data to be written. The length of the buffer in bytes. The starting offset on the media.

An event object to be set to the Signaled state when the requested operation completes. The I/O status block where the called driver can return status information and the caller's IoCompletion routine can access it. Returns a pointer to the IRP so the caller can set any necessary minor function code and set up its IoCompletion routine before sending the IRP to the target driver.
IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest Allocates and sets up an IRP specifying a major function code (either IRP_MJ_INTERNAL_DEVICE_CONTROL or IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL) with an optional input or output buffer; a pointer to the lower driver's device object; an event to be set to the Signaled state when the requested operation completes; and an I/O status block to be set by the driver that receives the IRP. Returns a pointer to the IRP so the caller can set the appropriate IOCTL_XXX before sending the IRP to the next-lower-level driver.

IoAllocateMdl Allocates an MDL large enough to map the starting address and length supplied by the caller; optionally associates the MDL with a given IRP.
IoBuildPartialMdl Builds an MDL for the specified starting virtual address and length in bytes from a given source MDL. Drivers that split large transfer requests into a number of smaller transfers can call this routine.
IoFreeMdl Releases a given MDL allocated by the caller.
IoMakeAssociatedIrp Allocates and initializes an IRP to be associated with a master IRP sent to the highest-level driver, allowing the driver to "split" the original request and send associated IRPs on to lower-level drivers or to the device.
IoSetCompletionRoutine Registers a driver-supplied IoCompletion routine with a given IRP, so that the IoCompletion routine is called when lower-level drivers have completed the request. The IoCompletion routine lets the caller release the IRP it allocated with IoAllocateIrp or IoBuildAsynchronousFsdRequest; to release any other resources it allocated to set up an IRP for lower drivers; and to perform any I/O completion processing necessary.
IoSetCompletionRoutineEx Same as IoSetCompletionRoutine, except that it guarantees a non-Plug and Play driver is not unloaded before the IoCompletion routine exits.

Plug and Play routines

These routines are used by drivers to implement Plug and Play (PnP) support. For background and task-oriented information about supporting PnP in drivers, see Plug and Play.

The following topics summarize the routines by functionality:

Device information routines

Function Description
oGetDeviceProperty Retrieves information about a device such as configuration information and the name of its PDO.
IoInvalidateDeviceRelations Notifies the PnP manager that the relations for a device have changed.

IoReportDetectedDevice Reports a non-PnP device to the PnP manager.
IoReportResourceForDetection Claims hardware resources in the configuration registry for a legacy device. This routine is for drivers that detect legacy hardware that cannot be enumerated by PnP.

Registry routines

Device interface routines

Function Description

PnP notification routines

Function Description
IoRegisterPlugPlayNotification Registers a driver callback routine to be called when the specified PnP event occurs.
IoReportTargetDeviceChange Notifies the PnP manager that a custom event has occurred on a device. The PnP manager sends notification of the event to drivers that registered for it. Do not use this routine to report system PnP events, such as GUID_TARGET_DEVICE_REMOVE_COMPLETE.
IoReportTargetDeviceChangeAsynchronous Notifies the PnP manager that a custom event has occurred on a device. Returns immediately and does not wait while the PnP manager sends notification of the event to drivers that registered for it.

IoAcquireRemoveLock Increments the count for a remove lock, indicating that the associated device object should not be detached from the device stack nor deleted.
IoReleaseRemoveLock Releases a remove lock acquired with a previous call to IoAcquireRemoveLock.
IoReleaseRemoveLockAndWait Releases a remove lock acquired with a previous call to IoAcquireRemoveLock and waits until all acquisitions of the lock have been released. A driver typically calls this routine in its dispatch code for an IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE request.

Other PnP routines

Function Description
IoAdjustPagingPathCount Increments or decrements a caller-supplied page-file counter as an atomic operation. This routine can be used to adjust other counters, such as counters for hibernation files or crash-dump files.
IoRequestDeviceEject Notifies the PnP manager that the device eject button was pressed. Note that this routine reports a request for a device eject, not media eject.

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) routines

This section summarizes kernel-mode support routines that drivers can use to interact with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

The categories of support routines include those that drivers can call to:

Process IRPs that a driver receives (WMI IRP processing routines)

Function Description
WmiCompleteRequest If a driver uses WmiSystemControl to dispatch the WMI IRP to a callback routine, then the callback routine can use WmiCompleteRequest to complete the IRP.
WmiSystemControl Dispatches a WMI IRP to a driver-supplied callback routine.
WmiFireEvent The WmiFireEvent routine sends an event to WMI for delivery to data consumers that have requested notification of the event.
WmiQueryTraceInformation The WmiQueryTraceInformation routine returns information about a WMI event trace.
WmiSystemControl The WmiSystemControl routine is a dispatch routine for drivers that use WMI library support routines to handle WMI IRPs.
WmiTraceMessage The WmiTraceMessage routine adds a message to the output log of a WPP software tracing session.
WmiTraceMessageVa The WmiTraceMessageVa routine adds a message to the output log of a WPP software tracing session.

Drivers can use these routines in processing WMI IRPs

Function Description
WmiCompleteRequest If a driver uses WmiSystemControl to dispatch the WMI IRP to a callback routine, then the callback routine can use WmiCompleteRequest to complete the IRP.
WmiSystemControl Dispatches a WMI IRP to a driver-supplied callback routine.

Drivers use these routines to send WMI IRPs

Function Description
IoWMIAllocateInstanceIds Allocates unused WMI instance IDs for a given WMI class GUID.
IoWMIDeviceObjectToInstanceName Given a device object, determines the WMI class instance name supported by the corresponding driver. Callers can use this to determine the instance names supported by a particular driver.
IoWMIExecuteMethod Executes the specified WMI class method.
IoWMIHandleToInstanceName Given a file handle, determines the WMI class instance name supported by the corresponding driver. Callers can use this to determine the instance names supported by a particular driver.
IoWMIOpenBlock Opens a WMI data block. Callers use this to submit WMI I/O requests.
IoWMIQueryAllData Fetches the property values for every instance of the specified WMI class GUID.
IoWMIQueryAllDataMultiple Fetches the property values for every instance of the specified set of WMI class GUIDs.
IoWMIQuerySingleInstance Fetches the property values for a particular instance of the specified WMI class GUID.
IoWMIQuerySingleInstanceMultiple Fetches the property values for a particular set of WMI class instances.
IoWMISetNotificationCallback Sets a notification callback for WMI events.
IoWMISetSingleInstance Sets the property values for a particular WMI class instance.
IoWMISetSingleItem Sets the specified property for a particular WMI class instance.

This section describes required and optional routines that a kernel-mode WDM driver contains, if the driver handles WMI Minor IRPs by calling WmiSystemControl. For more information, see Calling WmiSystemControl to Handle WMI IRPs.

The DpWmiXxx names that are used in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK) documentation are placeholders. A driver's DpWmiXxx routines can have any names that the driver writer chooses.

ZwXxx / NtXxx routines

The ZwXxx routines provide a set of system entry points that parallel some of the executive's system services. Calling a ZwXxx routine from kernel-mode code results in a call to the corresponding system service. Calling a ZwXxx routine from user mode is not supported; instead, native applications (applications that bypass the Microsoft Win32 subsystem) should call the NtXxx equivalent of the ZwXxx routine.

For a list of NtXxx routines, see NtXxx Routines.

For a call to a ZwXxx routine from a kernel-mode driver, the system does not check the caller's access rights, nor does it set the previous processor mode to UserMode. Before calling a ZwXxx routine, a kernel-mode driver must check all user-supplied parameters for validity.

For more information about the relationship between NtXxx and ZwXxx routines, see Using Nt and Zw Versions of the Native System Services Routines. For a list of the ZwXxx routines in each major functional category, see Summary of Kernel-Mode Support Routines.

The following routines are reserved for system use. Do not use them in your driver.

Routine Replacement

ZwCreateTimer Use KeInitializeTimer or KeInitializeTimerEx instead.
ZwOpenTimer

NtRenameTransactionManager and TmRenameTransactionManager are two versions of the same routine. Kernel-mode drivers should not call NtRenameTransactionManager. They should instead call TmRenameTransactionManager.

Function Description
NtRenameTransactionManager The NtRenameTransactionManager routine changes the identity of the transaction manager object that is stored in the CLFS log file stream contained in the log file name.
NtSetInformationTransactionManager Do not call this routine from kernel-mode code.
ZwAllocateLocallyUniqueId The ZwAllocateLocallyUniqueId routine allocates a locally unique identifier (LUID).
ZwAllocateVirtualMemory The ZwAllocateVirtualMemory routine reserves, commits, or both, a region of pages within the user-mode virtual address space of a specified process.
ZwClose The ZwClose routine closes an object handle.
ZwCreateDirectoryObject The ZwCreateDirectoryObject routine creates or opens an object-directory object.
ZwCreateEvent The ZwCreateEvent routine creates an event object, sets the initial state of the event to the specified value, and opens a handle to the object with the specified desired access.
ZwCreateFile The ZwCreateFile routine creates a new file or opens an existing file.

Auxiliary kernel-mode library routines and structures

The Auxiliary Kernel-Mode Library enables drivers to access some system capabilities that are not available from kernel-mode subsystems.

The AuxKlibInitialize routine initializes the Auxiliary Kernel-Mode Library. Drivers that use this library must call AuxKlibInitialize before calling any of the library's other routines.

  • AuxKlibEnumerateSystemFirmwareTables
  • AuxKlibGetBugCheckData
  • AuxKlibGetImageExportDirectory
  • AuxKlibGetSystemFirmwareTable
  • AuxKlibInitialize
  • AuxKlibQueryModuleInformation
  • AUX_MODULE_BASIC_INFO
  • AUX_MODULE_EXTENDED_INFO
  • KBUGCHECK_DATA

Processor group compatibility library

Support is available for kernel-mode drivers that use processor groups. The Processor Group (ProcGrp) compatibility library enables a kernel-mode driver that is written to use processor groups run on earlier versions of Windows, which do not support processor groups. When this driver runs on, it can take advantage of multiple processor groups, if the hardware platform supports them. When this same driver runs on an earlier version of Windows, it is limited to a single processor group, regardless of the capabilities of the hardware platform. To use the ProcGrp library, the driver must call a library initialization routine. Additionally, the driver must be compiled for the Windows 7 environment in the WDK, and must be linked with Procgrp.lib.

The ProcGrp library is designed to meet the compatibility requirements of drivers that call the following KeXxx routines but must also run on versions of Windows that do not implement these routines:

  • KeGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx
  • KeGetProcessorIndexFromNumber
  • KeGetProcessorNumberFromIndex
  • KeQueryActiveGroupCount
  • KeQueryActiveProcessorCountEx
  • KeQueryGroupAffinity
  • KeQueryMaximumProcessorCount
  • KeQueryMaximumProcessorCountEx
  • KeQueryMaximumGroupCount
  • KeSetSystemAffinityThreadEx
  • KeSetSystemGroupAffinityThread
  • KeRevertToUserAffinityThreadEx
  • KeRevertToUserGroupAffinityThread
  • KeSetTargetProcessorDpcEx

The ProcGrp library implements wrapper functions for the KeXxx routines in the preceding list. If the library runs on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the wrapper functions simply call the corresponding KeXxx routines. The wrapper functions have the same names as these KeXxx routines, and their behavior is identical to that of the KeXxx routines that they replace.

Earlier versions of Windows do not support processor groups and do not implement the KeXxx routines in the preceding list. If the ProcGrp library is linked to a driver that runs on one of these earlier versions of Windows, the library initialization function, WdmlibProcgrpInitialize, detects that the operating system does not support processor groups. To deal with this case, each wrapper function contains a simplified implementation of the corresponding KeXxx routine. This implementation supports only one processor group, group number 0. For example, the wrapper function for the KeQueryMaximumGroupCount routine always returns a count of one. For another example, the wrapper function for the KeGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx routine emulates this routine by calling the KeGetCurrentProcessorNumber routine. KeGetCurrentProcessorNumber is similar to KeGetCurrentProcessorNumberEx, but lacks support for processor groups, which, in this case, has the same effect as supporting just one processor group.

For more information about the support for processor groups in Windows 7, see the Supporting Systems That Have More Than 64 Processors white paper on the WHDC website.

The ProcGrp library is contained in the Windows 7 version of the WDK. The library functions are declared in the Procgrp.h header file and are implemented in the Procgrp.lib library file.

In addition to the KeXxx wrapper functions, the ProcGrp library implements the following function to initialize the library:

  • WdmlibProcgrpInitialize

DMA library routines

Drivers use the routines documented in this section to perform direct memory access (DMA) operations. The routines are accessed through pointers and cannot be called directly by name.

Drivers performing DMA operations use IoGetDmaAdapter to get a pointer to the DMA_ADAPTER structure for the device. The DmaOperations member of the structure points to a DMA_OPERATIONS structure, which is a table of pointers to the DMA routines for the physical device object of that device.

Function Description
IoGetDmaAdapter Returns a pointer to an adapter object that represents either the DMA channel to which the driver's device is connected or the driver's bus-master adapter. Also returns the maximum number of map registers the driver can specify for each DMA transfer.
MmGetMdlVirtualAddress Returns the base virtual address of a buffer described by a given MDL. The returned address, used as an index to a physical address entry in the MDL, can be input to MapTransfer.
MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe Returns a nonpaged system-space virtual address for the base of the memory area described by an MDL. It maps the physical pages described by the MDL into system space, if they are not already mapped to system space.
ADDRESS_AND_SIZE_TO_SPAN_PAGES Returns the number of pages spanned by the virtual range defined by a virtual address and a length in bytes. A driver can use this macro to determine whether a transfer request must be split into partial transfers.
AllocateAdapterChannel Reserves exclusive access to a DMA channel and map registers for a device. When the channel and registers are available, this routine calls a driver-supplied AdapterControl routine to carry out an I/O operation through either the system DMA controller or a bus-master adapter.
AllocateCommonBuffer Allocates and maps a logically contiguous region of memory that is simultaneously accessible from both the processor and a device. This routine returns TRUE if the requested length was allocated.
BuildMdlFromScatterGatherList Builds an MDL corresponding to a scatter/gather list.
BuildScatterGatherList Prepares the system for scatter/gather DMA for a device and calls a driver-supplied routine to carry out the I/O operation. This function provides the same functionality as GetScatterGatherList, except it uses a driver-supplied buffer to hold the scatter/gather list.
CalculateScatterGatherList Computes the buffer size needed to hold a scatter/gather list for a memory buffer.
FlushAdapterBuffers Forces any data remaining in either a bus-master adapter's or the system DMA controller's internal buffers to be written into memory or to the device.
FreeAdapterChannel Releases an adapter object that represents a system DMA channel, and optionally releases any allocated map registers.
FreeCommonBuffer Releases and unmaps a previously allocated common buffer. Arguments must match those passed in an earlier call to AllocateCommonBuffer.
FreeMapRegisters Releases a set of map registers that were saved from a call to AllocateAdapterChannel. A driver calls this routine after using the registers in one or more calls to MapTransfer, flushing the cache by calling FlushAdapterBuffers, and completing the bus-master DMA transfer.
GetDmaAlignment Returns the buffer alignment requirements for a DMA controller or device.
GetScatterGatherList Prepares the system for scatter/gather DMA for a device and calls a driver-supplied routine to carry out the I/O operation. For devices that support scatter/gather DMA, this routine combines the functionality of AllocateAdapterChannel and MapTransfer.
KeFlushIoBuffers Flushes the memory region described by an MDL from all processors' caches into memory.
MapTransfer Sets up map registers for an adapter object previously allocated by AllocateAdapterChannel to map a transfer from a locked-down buffer. Returns the logical address of the mapped region and, for bus-master devices that support scatter/gather, the number of bytes mapped.
PutDmaAdapter Frees an adapter object previously allocated by IoGetDmaAdapter.
PutScatterGatherList Frees map registers and scatter/gather list previously allocated by GetScatterGatherList.
ReadDmaCounter Returns the number of bytes yet to be transferred during the current system DMA operation (in auto-initialize mode).

MmGetSystemAddressForMdlSafe Returns a system-space virtual address that maps the physical pages described by a given MDL for drivers whose devices must use PIO. If no virtual address exists, one is assigned.
KeFlushIoBuffers Flushes the memory region described by a given MDL from all processors' caches into memory.
MmUnlockPages Unlocks the previously probed and locked pages specified in an MDL.

  • PLOAD_IMAGE_NOTIFY_ROUTINE

Keep notify routines short and simple.

  • Do not make calls into a user mode service to validate the process, thread, or image.

  • Do not make registry calls.

  • Do not make blocking and/or Interprocess Communication (IPC) function calls.

  • Do not synchronize with other threads because it can lead to re-entrancy deadlocks.

  • Use System Worker Threads to queue work especially work involving:

    • Slow API's or API's that call into other process.

    • Any blocking behavior which could interrupt threads in core services.

  • Be considerate of best practices for kernel mode stack usage. For examples, see How do I keep my driver from running out of kernel-mode stack? and Key Driver Concepts and Tips.

Safe integer library routines

This section describes the safe integer functions for drivers. These functions are defined as inline functions in the Ntintsafe.h header file in the WDK. The safe integer functions are designed to help drivers to avoid arithmetic overflow errors. These functions are divided into two sets; the first converts integer values from one type to another, and the second performs math functions. For more information about these functions, see Using Safe Integer Functions.

The Intsafe.h header file in the Windows SDK defines a similar set of safe integer functions for use by applications. For more information about this version of the safe integer functions, see Intsafe.h Functions.

Access to driver-managed objects

Function Description
ExCreateCallback Creates or opens a callback object.
ExNotifyCallback Calls the callback routines registered with a previously created or opened callback object.
ExRegisterCallback Registers a callback routine with a previously created or opened callback object, so that the caller can be notified when conditions defined for the callback routine occur.
ExUnregisterCallback Cancels the registration of a callback routine with a callback object.
IoRegisterDeviceInterface Registers device functionality (a device interface) that a driver can enable for use by applications or other system components.
IoSetDeviceInterfaceState Enables or disables a previously registered device interface. Applications and other system components can open only interfaces that are enabled.
IoGetDeviceInterfaceAlias Returns the alias device interface of the specified interface class, if the alias exists. Device interfaces are considered aliases if they are exposed by the same underlying device and have identical interface reference strings, but are of different interface classes.
IoGetDeviceInterfaces Returns a list of device interfaces of a particular device interface class (such as all devices on the system that support a HID interface).
IoGetFileObjectGenericMapping Returns information about the mapping between generic access rights and specific access rights for file objects.
IoSetShareAccess Sets the access allowed to a given file object representing a device. (Only highest-level drivers can call this routine.)

Error handling

Function Description
IoAllocateErrorLogEntry Allocates and initializes an error log packet; returns a pointer so the caller can supply error log data and call IoWriteErrorLogEntry with the packet.
IoFreeErrorLogEntry Frees an error log entry allocated by IoAllocateErrorLogEntry.
IoWriteErrorLogEntry Queues a previously allocated error log packet, filled in by the driver, to the system error logging thread.
IoIsErrorUserInduced Returns a Boolean value indicating whether an I/O request failed due to one of the following (user-correctable) conditions: STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT, STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_READY, STATUS_UNRECOGNIZED_MEDIA, STATUS_VERIFY_REQUIRED, STATUS_WRONG_VOLUME, STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED, or STATUS_NO_MEDIA_IN_DEVICE. If the result is TRUE, a removable-media driver must call IoSetHardErrorOrVerifyDevice before completing the IRP.
IoSetHardErrorOrVerifyDevice Supplies the device object for which the given IRP was failed due to a user-induced error, such as supplying the incorrect media for the requested operation or changing the media before the requested operation was completed. (A file system driver uses the associated device object to send a dialog box to the user; the user can then correct the error or retry the operation.)
IoSetThreadHardErrorMode Enables or disables error reporting for the current thread using IoRaiseHardError or IoRaiseInformationalHardError.
IoRaiseHardError Causes a dialog box to be sent to the user indicating that the given IRP was failed on the given device object for an optional VPB, so that the user can correct the error or retry the operation.
IoRaiseInformationalHardError Causes a dialog box to be sent to the user, showing an I/O error status and optional string supplying more information.
ExRaiseStatus Raises an error status so that a caller-supplied structured exception handler is called. (This routine is useful only to highest-level drivers that supply exception handlers, in particular to file systems.)
KeBugCheckEx Brings down the system in a controlled manner, displaying the bug-check code and possibly more information, after the caller discovers an unrecoverable inconsistency that will corrupt the system unless it is brought down. After the system is brought down, this routine displays bug-check and possibly other information. (This routine can be called when debugging under-development drivers. Otherwise, drivers should never call this routine when they can handle an error by failing an IRP and by calling IoAllocateErrorLogEntry and IoWriteErrorLogEntry.)
KeBugCheck Brings down the system in a controlled manner when the caller discovers an unrecoverable inconsistency that will corrupt the system if the caller continues to run. KeBugCheckEx is preferable.
KeInitializeCallbackRecord Initializes a bug-check callback record before a device driver calls KeRegisterBugCheckCallback.
KeRegisterBugCheckCallback Registers the device driver's bug-check callback routine, which is called if a system bug check occurs. Such a driver-supplied routine saves driver-determined state information, such as the contents of device registers, that would not otherwise be written into the system crash-dump file.
KeDeregisterBugCheckCallback Removes a device driver's callback routine from the set of registered bug-check callback routines.
