Remarks

File system filter drivers and file systems call the FsRtlRegisterFileSystemFilterCallbacks routine to register notification callback routines to be invoked when the underlying file system performs certain operations.

All of the callback entry points are optional and can be NULL.

The FS_FILTER_CALLBACK filter callback routine and its parameters are defined as follows:

typedef
NTSTATUS (*PFS_FILTER_CALLBACK) (
    IN PFS_FILTER_CALLBACK_DATA Data,
    OUT PVOID *CompletionContext
);

Parameter	Meaning
Data	Pointer to the FS_FILTER_CALLBACK_DATA structure for this operation.
CompletionContext	Context information to be passed to the filter completion callback routine. Set to NULL if no context information is to be passed or if there is no corresponding filter completion callback routine.

The FS_FILTER_COMPLETION_CALLBACK filter completion callback routine and its parameters are defined as follows:

typedef
VOID (*PFS_FILTER_COMPLETION_CALLBACK) (
    IN PFS_FILTER_CALLBACK_DATA Data,
    IN NTSTATUS OperationStatus,
    IN PVOID CompletionContext
);

Parameter	Meaning
Data	Pointer to the FS_FILTER_CALLBACK_DATA structure for this operation.
OperationStatus	Status of the operation. If the file system successfully performed the operation, this parameter is set to STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it is set to an appropriate error status value.
CompletionContext	Context information that was set in the filter callback routine. This is set to NULL if no information is passed or if there is no corresponding filter callback routine.

Callback routines are defined for the following operations:

Operation	Notification callback routines
The memory manager acquires a file exclusively before creating a memory-mapped section for a portion of the file. For this operation, SyncType is set to SyncTypeCreateSection.	PreAcquireForSectionSynchronization, PostAcquireForSectionSynchronization
The memory manager releases a file after creating a memory-mapped section for a portion of the file.	PreReleaseForSectionSynchronization, PostReleaseForSectionSynchronization
A kernel component (such as the cache manager) acquires a file exclusively before temporarily disabling section creation for a portion of the file. For this operation, SyncType is set to SyncTypeOther.	PreAcquireForSectionSynchronization, PostAcquireForSectionSynchronization. PreAcquireForSectionSynchronization should always return a success status code (such as STATUS_SUCCESS) for this operation.
A kernel component (such as the cache manager) releases a file after temporarily disabling section creation for a portion of the file.	PreReleaseForSectionSynchronization, PostReleaseForSectionSynchronization
The cache manager acquires a file exclusively before flushing a portion of the file from the cache.	PreAcquireForCcFlush, PostAcquireForCcFlush
The cache manager releases a file after flushing a portion of the file from the cache.	PreReleaseForCcFlush, PostReleaseForCcFlush
The modified page writer acquires a file exclusively before writing a portion of the file to disk.	PreAcquireForModifiedPageWriter, PostAcquireForModifiedPageWriter
The modified page writer releases a file after writing a portion of the file to disk.	PreReleaseForModifiedPageWriter, PostReleaseForModifiedPageWriter
A component queries for file information by name without opening the file. Redirectors will never be called with this query, and thus do not need to implement PreQueryOpen or PostQueryOpen callbacks.	PreQueryOpen, PostQueryOpen

The filter notification callback routine is invoked before the operation request is passed to lower-level filter drivers and the underlying file system. In the callback routine, the filter driver should perform any needed processing and immediately return STATUS_SUCCESS. If a filter driver's callback routine returns a status value other than STATUS_SUCCESS, this causes the operation request to fail. Repeated failure of certain requests, such as locking requests, can halt system progress. Thus, filter drivers should fail such a request only when absolutely necessary. When failing these requests, the filter driver should return an error status value that describes the error as completely and accurately as possible.

Note

A filter driver's notification callback routine cannot fail a request to release a file system resource. If a filter driver returns a status value other than STATUS_SUCCESS from any of the following notification callback routines, the status value is ignored.

• PreReleaseForSectionSynchronization
• PreReleaseForCcFlush
• PreReleaseForModifiedPageWriter

The filter completion callback routine is invoked after the operation request is passed to lower-level filter drivers and the underlying file system. In the completion callback routine, the filter driver must perform any needed processing and immediately return.
