RxInitializeContext initializes an existing RX_CONTEXT data structure.

Syntax

void RxInitializeContext(
  [in, optional] IN PIRP                 Irp,
  [in]           IN PRDBSS_DEVICE_OBJECT RxDeviceObject,
  [in]           IN ULONG                InitialContextFlags,
  [in, out]      IN OUT PRX_CONTEXT      RxContext
);

Parameters

[in, optional] Irp

A pointer to the IRP to be encapsulated by this RX_CONTEXT structure.

[in] RxDeviceObject

A pointer to the device object to which this RX_CONTEXT and IRP apply.

[in] InitialContextFlags

The set of initial values for Flags member of the RX_CONTEXT data structure to be stored in the RX_CONTEXT structure. These initial values can be any combination of the following enumerations:

RX_CONTEXT_FLAG_WAIT

When this value is set, the IRP should be not be posted for later execution by the file system process, but should be waited on to complete.

RX_CONTEXT_FLAG_MUST_SUCCEED

When this value is set, the operation must succeed. This value is not currently used by RDBSS, but it may be used by network mini-redirector drivers.

RX_CONTEXT_FLAG_MUST_SUCCEED_NONBLOCKING

When this value is set, the operation must succeed for non-blocking operations. This value is not currently used by RDBSS, but it may be used by network mini-redirector drivers.

[in, out] RxContext

Pointer to the RX_CONTEXT to be initialized.

Return value

None

Remarks

RxInitializeContext is called internally by the RxCreateRxContext routine. So the RxInitializeContext routine would normally only be used by network min-redirector drivers that allocate RX_CONTEXT structures directly rather than calling the RxCreateRxContext routine to allocate and initialize an RX_CONTEXT structure.

If the Irp parameter is configured for asynchronous operation, then the Flags member of the RX_CONTEXT structure pointed to by RxContext also has the following value set:

RX_CONTEXT_FLAG_ASYNC_OPERATION is also set for the following conditions:

The MajorFunction member of the Irp is IRP_MJ_READ, IRP_MJ_WRITE, or IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL.
The MajorFunction member of the Irp is an IRP_MJ_DIRECTORY_CONTROL and the MinorFunction member of the IRP is an IRP_MN_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIRECTORY.
The MajorFunction member of the Irp is an IRP_MJ_FILE_SYSTEM_CONTROL and NetRoot member of the associated FCB is not NULL and the Type member of the NET_ROOT is NET_ROOT_PIPE.

If this is a recursive file system call (the TopLevelIrp member in the thread local storage is the current Irp) then the Flags member of RxContext also has the following value set:

If the RxDeviceObject parameter indicates that this is the top level RDBSS device object, then the Flags member of the RX_CONTEXT structure also has the following value set:

If the Irp FileObject Flags member has the FO_WRITE_THROUGH option set, then the Flags member of the RX_CONTEXT structure also has the following value set:

RxInitializeContext sets a number of other members in the RX_CONTEXT structure including the following:

Sets the proper NodeTypeCode, NodeByteSize, SerialNumber, RxDeviceObject, and initializes the ReferenceCount to 1.
Initializes the SyncEvent
Initialize the associated ScavengerEntry
Initializes the list entry of BlockedOperations
Sets the RX_CONTEXT members based on the Irp. These include CurrentIrp, OriginalThread, MajorFunction, MinorFunction, CurrentIrpSp, pFcb, NonPagedFcb, pFobx, pRelevantSrvOpen, and FobxSerialNumber members.
