FltReleasePushLockEx function (fltkernel.h)

The FltReleasePushLockEx routine releases a specified push lock owned by the current thread.

Syntax

VOID FLTAPI FltReleasePushLockEx(
  PEX_PUSH_LOCK PushLock,
  ULONG         Flags
);

PushLock

Opaque push lock pointer of type PEX_PUSH_LOCK. This pointer must have been initialized by a previous call to FltInitializePushLock.

Flags

A bitmask of flags that control the attributes of the lock.

None.

FltReleasePushLockEx releases a push lock that was previously acquired by calling FltAcquirePushLockExclusive or FltAcquirePushLockShared.

Because FltReleasePushLockEx reenables normal kernel APC delivery, it is not necessary to call KeEnterCriticalRegion or FsRtlEnterFileSystem after calling FltReleasePushLockEx.
