MdlAfterReqCompletedIntIoctl rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The MdlAfterReqCompletedIntIoctl rule specifies that within the EvtIoInternalDeviceControl callback function, the memory descriptor list (MDL) cannot be accessed after the I/O request is completed.

Within the driver's EvtIoInternalDeviceControl callback function, the MDL that was retrieved by calling the WdfRequestRetrieveInputWdmMdl or WdfRequestRetrieveOutputWdmMdl method cannot be accessed after calling WdfRequestComplete, WdfRequestCompleteWithInformation, or WdfRequestCompleteWithPriorityBoost on the I/O request.

This rule considers the following two MDL access methods:

WdfRequestRetrieveOutputWdmMdl WdfRequestRetrieveInputWdmMdl

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the MdlAfterReqCompletedIntIoctl rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
