Windows kernel obsolete routines
The following obsolete routines are exported to support existing binaries:
Obsolete routine | Description |
---|---|
ExAcquireResourceExclusive | Use ExAcquireResourceExclusiveLite instead. |
ExAcquireResourceShared | Use ExAcquireResourceSharedLite instead. |
ExAllocateFromZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExConvertExclusiveToShared | Use ExConvertExclusiveToSharedLite instead. |
ExDeleteResource | Use ExDeleteResourceLite instead. |
ExExtendZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExFreeToZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExInitializeResource | Use ExInitializeResourceLite instead. |
ExInitializeWorkItem | Use IoAllocateWorkItem instead. |
ExInitializeZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExInterlockedAllocateFromZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExInterlockedDecrementLong | Use InterlockedDecrement instead. |
ExInterlockedExchangeAddLargeInteger | For more information about atomically adding two 64-bit numbers, see InterlockedExchangeAdd64. |
ExInterlockedExchangeUlong | Use InterlockedExchange instead. |
ExInterlockedExtendZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExInterlockedFreeToZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExInterlockedIncrementLong | Use InterlockedIncrement instead. |
ExIsFullZone | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExIsObjectInFirstZoneSegment | Use lookaside lists instead. For more information, see Buffer Management. |
ExIsResourceAcquired | Use ExIsResourceAcquiredLite instead. |
ExIsResourceAcquiredExclusive | Use ExIsResourceAcquiredExclusiveLite instead. |
ExIsResourceAcquiredShared | Use ExIsResourceAcquiredSharedLite instead. |
ExReleaseResource | Use ExReleaseResourceLite instead. |
ExReleaseResourceForThread | Use ExReleaseResourceForThreadLite instead. |
IoAllocateAdapterChannel | Use AllocateAdapterChannel instead. |
IoAssignResources | Drivers of PnP devices are assigned resources by the PnP manager, which passes resource lists with each IRP_MN_START_DEVICE request. Drivers that must support a legacy device that cannot be enumerated by the PnP manager should use IoReportDetectedDevice and IoReportResourceForDetection instead. |
IoAttachDeviceByPointer | Use IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack instead. |
IoFlushAdapterBuffers | Use FlushAdapterBuffers instead. |
IoFreeAdapterChannel | Use FreeAdapterChannel instead. |
IoFreeMapRegisters | Use FreeMapRegisters instead. |
IoMapTransfer | Use MapTransfer instead. |
IoQueryDeviceDescription | This routine retrieves hardware configuration information about a given bus, controller or peripheral object, or any combination of these three types from the \Registry\Machine\Hardware\Description tree. Drivers that require hardware configuration information should use IoGetDeviceProperty instead. |
IoReportResourceUsage | This routine claims hardware resources, such as an interrupt vector, device memory range or a particular DMA controller channel in the \Registry\Machine\Hardware\ResourceMap tree, so that a subsequently loaded driver cannot attempt to use the same resources. If a new driver must support a legacy device that is not PnP-enumerable, the driver should call IoReportResourceForDetection to claim resources for the device. |
KeGetDcacheFillSize | Drivers should call GetDmaAlignment instead. |
MmCreateMdl | Use IoAllocateMdl instead. |
MmIsNonPagedSystemAddressValid |
