The DDI compliance rules for AVStream miniport drivers verify the DDI interface protocols between the kernel-streaming driver (ks.sys) and its miniport drivers.

In this section

Topic	Description
KsCallbackReturn	The KsCallbackReturn rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver callback function returns only allowed status values.
KsDeviceMutex	The KsDeviceMutex rule specifies that a kernel streaming miniport driver uses KsAcquireDevice and KsReleaseDevice in the correct sequence. That is, every call to KsAcquireDevice must have a corresponding call to KsReleaseDevice.
KsFilterMutex	The KsFilterMutex rule specifies that a KS miniport driver acquires and releases the filter mutex in the correct sequence.
KsIrqlDDIs	The KsIrqlDDIs rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver calls KS DDIs at the correct IRQL level.
KsIrqlDeviceCallbacks	The KsIrqlDeviceCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver returns from a KS device callback function with the same IRQL it had when it was called.
KsInvalidStreamPointer	The KsInvalidStreamPointer rule verifies if a KS miniport driver provides a valid KS Stream Pointer as a function argument.
KsIrqlFilterCallbacks	The KsIrqlFilterCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver returns from a KS filter callback function with the same IRQL it had when the callback function was called.
KsMarkPendingIrp	The KsMarkPendingIrp rule specifies that a kernel-stream (KS) miniport driver should mark IRPs as pending when returning with STATUS_PENDING from the following callback functions: AVStrMiniFilterClose AVStrMiniPinClose AVStrMiniPinCreate
KsIrqlPinCallbacks	The KsIrqlPinCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-stream (KS) miniport driver returns from a KS Pin callback function with the same IRQL that it had when it was called.
KsProcessingMutex	The KsProcessingMutex rule specifies that a KS miniport driver uses the processing mutex in the correct sequence:
KsStreamPointerClone	The KsStreamPointerClone rule specifies that a kernel-stream (KS) miniport driver correctly uses the KsStreamPointerClone and KsStreamPointerDelete functions.
KsStreamPointerLock	The KsStreamPointerLock rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver uses the KsStreamPointerLock and KsStreamPointerUnlock functions in the correct sequence.
KsStreamPointerUnlock	The KsStreamPointerUnlock rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver unlocks all stream pointers before the driver is unloaded (or the device stopped).
KsTimedDeviceCallbacks	The KsTimedDeviceCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver returns from a device callback function within 500 ms.
KsTimedFilterCallbacks	The KsTimedFilterCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver returns from a filter callback function within 500 ms.
KsTimedPinCallbacks	The KsTimedPinCallbacks rule specifies that a kernel-streaming (KS) miniport driver returns from a pin callback function within 500 ms.
KsTimedPinSetDeviceState	The KsTimedPinSetDeviceState rule specifies that a AVStream (KS) miniport driver makes state transitions using the AVStream minidriver's AVStrMiniPinSetDeviceState routine within the required time.
KsTimedProcessingMutex	The KsTimedProcessingMutex rule specifies that a KS miniport driver should not hold a processing mutex for more than 100 milliseconds.
