RemoveLockForward rule (wdm)

The RemoveLockForward rule verifies that calls to IoAcquireRemoveLock and IoReleaseRemoveLock are used correctly when forwarding an IRP to another device.

Note this rule does not check IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE, IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE or IRP_MN_SUPRISE_REMOVAL IRPs.

Driver model: WDM

How to test

At compile time
Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the RemoveLockForward rule. Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code: Prepare your code (use role type declarations). Run Static Driver Verifier. View and analyze the results. For more information, see Using Static Driver Verifier to Find Defects in Drivers.
