IWDFIoRequest::UnmarkCancelable method (wudfddi.h)
[Warning: UMDF 2 is the latest version of UMDF and supersedes UMDF 1. All new UMDF drivers should be written using UMDF 2. No new features are being added to UMDF 1 and there is limited support for UMDF 1 on newer versions of Windows 10. Universal Windows drivers must use UMDF 2. For more info, see Getting Started with UMDF.]
The UnmarkCancelable method disables the canceling of an I/O request.
Syntax
HRESULT UnmarkCancelable();
Return value
UnmarkCancelable returns one of the following values:
| Return code | Description |
|---|---|
|
UnmarkCancelable disabled use of the IRequestCallbackCancel::OnCancel method that was previously registered through a call to the IWDFIoRequest::MarkCancelable method. |
|
The request is currently being canceled. |
Remarks
A driver can call IWDFIoRequest::UnmarkCancelable to disable cancellation of an I/O request, if the driver previously called IWDFIoRequest::MarkCancelable to enable cancellation of the request.
If the driver previously called MarkCancelable, the driver must call UnmarkCancelable before calling IWDFIoRequest::Complete outside of a call to its IRequestCallbackCancel::OnCancel callback method.
However, the driver must not call UnmarkCancelable after OnCancel calls Complete.
If UnmarkCancelable returns HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED), and then OnCancel completes the request, the driver must not subsequently use the request object.
If UnmarkCancelable returns HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED), the driver must not complete the request before the framework calls OnCancel. Otherwise, the framework might call the driver's OnCancel with an invalid request.
Examples
The following code example demonstrates how a driver might call IWDFIoRequest::UnmarkCancelable before calling IWDFIoRequest::Complete, outside of a call to its IRequestCallbackCancel::OnCancel method.
The example also shows how you can use OnCancel to expedite the completion of a request. In this case, the OnCancel callback does not always complete/cancel the specified request.
//
// The driver calls CompletePendingRequest when it is ready to complete the request with error/success.
// You must previously initialize m_CompleteCancelledRequest to zero.
//
VOID
CompletePendingRequest(
HRESULT hr,
DWORD information
)
{
LONG shouldComplete = 1;
if (m_PendingRequest) {
HRESULT hrUnmark = m_PendingRequest->UnmarkCancelable();
if (HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED) == hrUnmark) {
//
// We are racing with OnCancel. We cannot complete m_PendingRequest until after
// both IWDFIoRequest::Complete and OnCancel have finished with it. To
// guarantee this, the last to run (either OnCancel or CompletePendingRequest) will
// be the one to complete the request.
//
shouldComplete = InterlockedExchange(&m_CompleteCancelledRequest, 1);
}
//
// If we were first to set m_CompleteCancelledRequest to 1, then drop out here
// and rely on OnCancel to complete the request.
//
if (1 == shouldComplete) {
IWDFIoRequest *FxRequest = (IWDFIoRequest*)InterlockedExchangePointer((PVOID *)&m_PendingRequest, NULL);
InterlockedExchange(&m_CompleteCancelledRequest, 0);
FxRequest->SetInformation(information);
FxRequest->Complete(hr);
}
}
}
//
// The framework calls OnCancel when an application cancels a pending I/O request.
//
VOID
STDMETHODCALLTYPE
OnCancel(
_In_ IWDFIoRequest *pWdfRequest
)
{
if (m_PendingRequest != pWdfRequest) {
TraceEvents(TRACE_LEVEL_ERROR,
YOURDEVICE_TRACE_DEVICE,
"%!FUNC! Cancelled request does not match pending request.");
}
//
// Add your code to speed up the completion of the request. Maybe you need to reset the hardware or
// do some other domain-specific task.
//
//
// Since we only complete the request if we were the last to run (see comment in
// CompletePendingRequest), if we are *not* the last to run we rely on CompletePendingRequest
// to complete this request.
//
LONG shouldComplete = InterlockedExchange(&m_CompleteCancelledRequest, 1);
if (1 == shouldComplete) {
//
// Enter this block only if we are the last to run.
// Otherwise, rely on CompletePendingRequest to complete this request.
//
(void*) InterlockedExchangePointer((PVOID *)&m_PendingRequest, NULL);
InterlockedExchange(&m_CompleteCancelledRequest, 0);
pWdfRequest->Complete(HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_CANCELLED));
}
}
In the next code example, the driver stores I/O requests in a driver-implemented queue object called MyQueue. The driver’s MyQueue interface implements some basic methods to manipulate the queue, such as IsEmpty, RemoveHead, Cleanup, GetFirstNodePosition, GetAt, and RemoveAt.
The driver also defines a CommandInformation structure that holds a single I/O request from MyQueue.
The MyQueue::DeQueue method removes an I/O request from the queue, calls UnmarkCancelable to disable canceling of the request, and then returns the request for processing.
void MyQueue::DeQueue(__out CommandInformation* CommandInfo)
{
CComCritSecLock<CComAutoCriticalSection> scopeLock(m_CriticalSection);
if (NULL != CommandInfo)
{
for (;;)
{
if (TRUE == IsEmpty())
{
ZeroMemory(CommandInfo, sizeof(CommandInformation));
break;
}
//
// If queue is not empty, retrieve the first element from the list.
//
*CommandInfo = RemoveHead();
if (HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED) != (CommandInfo->Request)->UnmarkCancelable())
{
//
// UnmarkCancelable was successful.
// Ownership of this request has been transferred back to this driver.
//
break;
}
else
{
//
// If UMDF returns HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED) for UnmarkCancelable,
// that means UMDF is planning on cancelling the request. However, since this call
// popped the request off our internal queue, let’s cleanup the generic command object
// and let OnCancel complete the request.
//
CommandInfo->Cleanup();
}
}
}
}
//
// The framework calls OnCancel when an application cancels a dispatched I/O request.
//
void MyQueue::OnCancel(__in IWDFIoRequest* Request)
{
{
CComCritSecLock<CComAutoCriticalSection> scopeLock(m_CriticalSection);
POSITION pos = GetFirstNodePosition();
while (NULL != pos)
{
//
// Find the request and remove it from our driver-implemented queue.
//
CommandInformation commandInfo = GetAt(pos);
if (Request == commandInfo.Request)
{
RemoveAt(pos);
commandInfo.Cleanup();
break;
}
GetNext(pos);
}
}
//
// Cancel/Complete the request.
//
// The request might not be in the queue when the framework calls OnCancel.
// This occurs if DeQueue receives HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_OPERATION_ABORTED)
// when it calls UnmarkCancelable for the request. In this case, as soon as
// DeQueue releases the scopeLock, the framework calls OnCancel to cancel the request.
//
Request->Complete(HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_CANCELLED));
}
Also see the code example on WdfRequestUnmarkCancelable. While written for a KMDF driver, this example demonstrates how you can use the framework's automatic synchronization to manage synchronization between the cancel callback and another thread that calls the Unmark routine.
