KeLeaveGuardedRegion function (wdm.h)
The KeLeaveGuardedRegion routine exits a guarded region entered by KeEnterGuardedRegion.

void KeLeaveGuardedRegion();
None
Guarded regions can be nested, so APCs are only reenabled once the thread exists the outermost guarded region.
For more information about guarded regions, see Critical Regions and Guarded Regions.
