VideoPortAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel function

The VideoPortAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel function acquires a spin lock when the caller is already running at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL.

Syntax

VOID VideoPortAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel(
  _Inout_ PVOID      HwDeviceExtension,
  _In_    PSPIN_LOCK SpinLock
);

Parameters

  • HwDeviceExtension [in, out]
    Pointer to the miniport driver's device extension.

  • SpinLock [in]
    Pointer to a memory location that contains the spin lock.

Return value

None

Remarks

Miniport drivers call VideoPortAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel instead of VideoPortAcquireSpinLock for better driver performance if and only if they are already running at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL.

If a miniport driver is running at IRQL < DISPATCH_LEVEL, it should call VideoPortAcquireSpinLock to have IRQL raised by that routine. VideoPortAcquireSpinLockAtDpcLevel requires the caller to be running already at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL, so no raise is necessary.

The caller should release the spin lock with VideoPortReleaseSpinLockFromDpcLevel as quickly as possible.
