    - PS/2 Mouse Packets and USB Mouse Reports under Windows Vista Hello Everybody, Back in 2004, Microsoft said that Vista was going to support the new WM_MOUSEHWHEEL message for horizontal scrolling (tilt wheel), which implies that tilt wheel data will be part of the standard data packet sent by a mouse to the OS. Does anyone know if any information has been published about the standard PS/2 packet structure for a mouse with a tilt wheel? Will there be any other information contained in the new packet format, such as the 4th and 5th buttons? If there are more buttons, what functionality is expected from them? How should a tilt-wheel PS/2 mouse report itself to the system to inform that it supports the new packet structure? Has any information been published about HID usage pages and usages to be used to transfer tilt wheel values to the OS over a USB connection? Any leads will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    - UniDriver plugin -- "custom papersize" does not appear in my DEVMODE UniDriver plugin -- "custom papersize" does not appear in my DEVMODE Why is it that when I enter a "custom papersize", in an application like MS Word, that I don't see the same values (conversions accounted for) in my public DEVMODE (dmPaperSize, dmPaperWidth, dmPaperLength) in the driver, especially when printing? What do I need to do? Any ideas? Rudy Tag: BroadcastSystemMessage and system-level device drivers Tag: 75539

    - pci expansion support I have finally found some time to rewrite a filter driver for a pci expansion system. Given the product I have a requirment to increase the resource windows of buses that are upstream of my product, because the system may be hot plugged, some BIOSes don't support us, and some of the devices downstream (third party) may require more then the default 64MB/64MB/4K. My driver acts as an upper filter to PCI.SYS. I would like to modify the PCI config space of the upstream buses before PCI.SYS reads them. The information I am looking for is at what point in the process does PCI.sys read the config space before resource arbitration to decide what resources to allocate? I will figure it out through expirimentation, but if someone out there has some street knowledge, or can point me to some relevant documentaion in this area that could save me some time I would appreciate it. The driver I am replacing makes modifications in the IRP_MN_FILTER_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS pnp IRP, this is a direction I could go as I have a mostly working example, it just seems like modifying the config space and letting PCI.sys do its job is an cleaner route to take. My worry is that I have somewhat of a chicken and egg dilema as I need pci.sys to make modifications to the config space, but I don't want to make the modifications too late. I want to work within the accepted practices of the OS as I want the driver to support Vista and 64 bit versions as well without too many modifications.

    - IoCallDriver() returns STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST 0xc0000010 Hi All, I have a problem formatting and sending an Irp with Urb. I have an usb upper function filter driver and inside my custom IOCTL handler I call UsbBuildSelectConfigurationRequest to format an Urb and then I call SendAwaitUrb to sumbit the Urb. However, IoCallDriver inside SendAwaitUrb is returning STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST 0xc0000010. I must be wrong somewere in the code below, because as we all know the SendWaitUrb and the other code from W.Oney's book is a great source to learn and practicise. I have checked the chain Fido->Fdo->Pdo, it's ok, I believe UsbBuildSelectConfigurationRequest with NULL formats a proper setup packet... but still I am stuck and could not go ahead. Please take a look at the code below and let me know what do you think.

    - Sample Mirror Driver Excel Problem. I believe this problem has been around for some years now as I did find one other posting about it from November, 2002. When the sample mirror display driver that is included with the DDK is loaded (i.e. attached to the desktop), Excel displays the following error when it is started: "Not enough system resources to display completely." I strongly suspect this error is a catch-all for several issues and that the problem here is not necessarily due to the driver's taking resource but with something the driver is, or is not, doing that Excel expects/needs. Note that Excel runs after acknowledging this error message. However, it pops up often, for example when simply clicking on a different worksheet tab. So I am hoping this problem has been solved/identified by now and I would greatly appreciate any information anyone might have about it.

    - Mounting on a directory Greetings, I'm looking for some help with mounting a file system on a directory via SetVolumeMountPoint. I have a file system that I'm porting to Windows. In general it mounts OK, but I have one strange error condition that manifests itself as follows: 1) format a partition with my file system 2) use SetVolumeMountPoint to mount the file system on an NTFS directory << at this point the file system is NOT accessible via the NTFS path >> 3) reboot the system << the file system IS accessible via the NTFS path >> As a variation, if instead of rebooting the system in step 3, I use the Disk Management tool to assign a drive letter to the partition with my file system, it somehow makes the file system accessible via the NTFS path... It feels like my file system is not handling some event properly, but I can't figure out what it is... Anybody have an idea on what's needed?

    - SetupDiCallClassInstaller Intiating driver install then failing. Hi, this question has to with the installation and loading of a driver. The installation code I've written works great for Windows XP but not for Windows 2K. I used w2k for the building with the latest DDK. There is no hardware involved so my application calls the Setup API functions to communicate with the PnP Manager. So the adding of the devices is done when a user adds another port, not when the user installs the software. These devices are enumerated in ENUM\ROOT\PORTS. I have a virtual serial port (Com Port) driver I've written that can have up to 255 virtual devices. I have the .inf file and the .sys file in a subdirectory of my application. When I add the first port from my application it gets to the SetupDiCallClassInstaller function and it is called. The PnP Manager then loads my driver and calls DriverEntry. DriverEntry returns STATUS_SUCCESS but the PnP Manager calls my unload routine right after this. SetupDiCallClassInstaller returns stating a reboot is required. On Windows XP the AddDevice routine is called after the successfull call to DriverEntry with no request for a reboot. If I do reboot then everything works great. What is different from wxp and w2k in this scenario? Is there something in the deviceobject that needs to be set. I have Debug Prints in the PnP dispatch routines and none are being called. setupapi.log looks like this: @ 13:54:31.914 : Install Device: Begin. @ 13:54:31.914 : Doing full install of ROOT\PORTS\0000. @ 13:54:31.914 : Install Device: Writing BASIC Logical Configs @ 13:54:31.914 : Install Device: Changing registry settings specified by INF(s). @ 13:54:31.924 : Install Device: Writing driver specific registry settings. @ 13:54:31.924 : Install Device: Installing required Windows services. @ 13:54:32.785 : Install Device: Writing drive descriptive registry settings. @ 13:54:32.795 : Install Device: Calling RunOnce/GrpConv items. @ 13:54:32.795 : Executing RunOnce to process 5 RunOnce entries. @ 13:54:32.815 : Device install finished successfully (ROOT\PORTS\0000). @ 13:54:32.815 : Install Device: End. @ 13:55:02.017 : Device install function: DIF_PROPERTYCHANGE. @ 13:55:02.027 : Executing class-installer. @ 13:55:02.027 : Completed class-installer. @ 13:55:02.027 : Executing default installer. @ 13:55:15.166 : Device required reboot: Device has problem: 31. @ 13:55:15.176 : Completed default installer. Why does w2k require a reboot and not wxp? Problem 31 states that my driver depends on another driver that is not loaded? My driver is not dependent upon another driver? Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? -David G Tag: BroadcastSystemMessage and system-level device drivers Tag: 75469

    - Question about completion routine for InternalDeviceControl. Hi, does anyone know how to have the completion routine for InternalDeviceControl set up properly so that the routine will be called when the kmdf request object is completed by lower drivers? I set it up according to kmdf help file and the driver will only execute the routine twice before device manager will stop the driver completely. And I used the following two lines WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine (Request, completionRoutine, devExt); ret = WdfRequestSend (Request, Target, WDF_NO_SEND_OPTIONS); to register a completion routine that just print out the text message and called WdfRequestComplete(Request, Params->IoStatus.Status) to complete the request.

    - Memory manager writing pages back to executables... I was reading an article posted in code project website. The author has noticed that his XP explorer was taking about 5 seconds to display an error message when he tried deleted a locked file or directory. He found that shell32.dll was looping around sleep for 5 times with 1 second expiration. So he decided to patch the shell32.dll using a driver so that it will loop for 0 times thus avoiding the delay. He writes "Now that we know which addresses to patch, we need to map those addresses into the kernel-mode area of the memory. This will allow us to lock the pages in memory, thus preventing them from being swapped out to disk. In this case the memory we're modifying is "backed" by shell32.dll. If it were to be swapped out, the memory manager would attempt to write the changes back to shell32.dll. ...." He also writes (in the Some Final Thoughts section) "I'm not sure why the memory manager doesn't try to write the modified pages back to shell32.dll. I suspect that it's because the entries in the Page Frame Number Database representing the physical pages we've modified always have a "reference count" of at least 1 (because they're locked). If my understanding is correct, this means they will not be moved to the "Modified List" and thus will not be written to disk by the Modified Page Writer. If anyone can expand on this, please leave a comment. " My question is: 1. Is it true that the memory manager will write pages back to the executable upon modification? Under what circumstance does the memory manager does this? 2. Where can I find more information about this topic?

    - Understanding NdisMAllocateMapRegisters Hi Is it required to call NdisMAllocateMapRegisters before the ndis miniport calls NdisMAllocateSharedMemory(). (as documented in the ddk)? Can't the physical address returned by calling NdisMAllocateSharedMemory() passed to the dma master on the device? My understanding is - if an Ndis Buffer passed by protocol drivers has to be mapped directly and passed to the dma master, then a NdisMStartBufferPhysicalmapping() should be called. To do this, a map register is required, hence NdisMAllocateMapregisters() should be called prior to calling NdisMstartBufferPhysixcalmapping(). But if the buffer passed by the protocol driver is copied to a buffer alloacted using NdisMAllocateSharedMemory(), then NdisMAllocateMapRegister () is not required. Please correct me if Im wrong. basically, What does NdisMAlloacteMapRegisters() do and how and when should an ndis miniport use it.? Thanks in Advance, suu.

I've successfully played and manipulated kbfiltr.sys to intercept the barcode scanner input and put it in a device extension buffer. I've now spent some time trying to mesh the toaster/filter "control device object" code with the kbfiltr example. The resulting upper filter driver compiles and installs. The named "control device object" (MyBarcode) appears in the Winobj utility's "\Driver" folder. The name also appears in the !devstack for the device object shown below. However, when I make the CreateFile call from my user-mode app, it's always failing.

    - User mode winmm driver sample needed! Greetings! I want to write a virtual audio device driver to capture the sound output of another windows application. I have come across previous posts in this news group http://tinyurl.com/862cv http://tinyurl.com/8ssl6 that suggest writing an old-style winmm user mode driver using a wodMessage callback. This sounds like exactly what I want. The problem is that I would really need some working sample code to get started, otherwise I would have no idea how to structure such a driver. Even though the MS documentation tells you some things about how to go about it, I don't quite feel that I get what I need to start writing code just by reading the DDK help files...

This is my problem (please, evaluate also my approach): I want my driver to be completely asynchronous, in order to do so, I process DeviceIOControl requests in this way: when a new request arrives, I create a new WDFREQUEST using this code: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT_CONTEXT_TYPE(&_object_attributes, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); WdfRequestCreate(&_object_attributes, NULL, &_tx_request); In the context structure I store original user mode request and an offset. I create a new WDFMEMORY object using this code: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT(&_object_attributes); _object_attributes.ParentObject=_tx_request; WdfMemoryCreate(&_object_attributes, PagedPool, MYMEMTAG, _tx_buffer_size, &_tx_memory, &_tx_buffer); _tx_buffer_size is larger than original request input buffer because I need to add some protocol bytes. After, I write the request to bus driver using this functions: WdfUsbTargetPipeFormatRequestForWrite(_tx_pipe, _tx_request, _tx_memory, NULL); WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine(_tx_request, _my_tx_completion_routine, NULL); WdfRequestSend(_tx_request, WdfUsbTargetPipeGetIoTarget(_tx_pipe), NULL); In _my_tx_completion_routine first, I verify if all gone right, if yes: I've to read device response considering that I have to remove protocol bytes and some other informations that are not interesting for user mode application; I use this code (we are always in my 'write phase' completion routine): WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT_CONTEXT_TYPE(&_object_attributes, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); WdfRequestCreate(&_object_attributes, NULL, &_rx_request); Next, I copy IOCTL context structure received as parameter (it contains the original user mode request and its response buffer offset): _new_ioctl_context=WdfObjectGetTypedContext(_rx_request, MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT); RtlCopyMemory(_new_ioctl_context, _tx_request_context, sizeof(MY_IOCTL_CONTEXT)); I create a new WDFMEMORY object that will be used to read from device: WDF_OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES_INIT(&_object_attributes); _object_attributes.ParentObject=_rx_request; WdfMemoryCreate(&_object_attributes, PagedPool, MYMEMTAG, 512, &_rx_memory, NULL); Keep in mind tha last code line because I'll return on it later. Always in my 'write phase' completion routine I attempt to read from device using this code: WdfUsbTargetPipeFormatRequestForRead(_rx_pipe, _rx_request, _rx_memory, NULL); WdfRequestSetCompletionRoutine(_rx_request, _my_rx_completion_routine, NULL); WdfRequestSend(_rx_request, WdfUsbTargetPipeGetIoTarget(_rx_pipe), NULL); At this point I free the write request using WdfObjectDelete() and I leave _my_tx_completion_routine callback. Once device responds, _my_rx_completion_routine callback is invoked: from status block I verify that read request was completed fine and that I received from device the expected amount of data. The 'Request' parameter is the read request that I've created in my 'write phase' completion callback; and now, finally, the problem: before complete the original user mode request, I've to copy to its output buffer the data that I've received from device excluding protocol bytes. When I use WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory on 'Request' parameter to parse received data, it always fails due to STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_REQUEST error. But, the stranger things must still arrive; in order to avoid the problem I have tried the following: do you remember the WdfMemoryCreate call in _my_tx_completion_routine callback? If I replace the NULL last parameter with a pointer to a buffer (in order to store output buffer pointer in the context structure instead of using WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory) a bug check occurs and my test machine restarts. All parameters supplied to WdfMemoryCreate are valid (except for the last parameter that is currently a reference to PUCAHR _buffer=NULL). It is still not the end: if I bring back to NULL the WdfMemoryCreate call last parameter, and exacly below I use WdfMemoryGetBuffer, I obtain a pointer that, once stored in the context structure, when _my_rx_completion_routine is invoked, stores the data received from the device. At this point I can complete the original user mode request correctly. What's wrong with first attempt using WdfRequestRetrieveOutputMemory? What I'm mistaking? Thank you for the patience.

    - STATUS_PENDING returned by lower driver for IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB Hi All, I have the following code (SendAwaitUrb) that I got from W. Oney's book. I like this book, very useful, a lot of samples, just a great educational source about USB drivers! Probably I do something wrong because my IoCallDriver always return STATUS_PENDING. I call SendAwaitUrb and IoCallDriver from within my Lower function filter driver. I attach the filter driver below the function driver and I am expecting to be able to send Irp with URB to the bus driver. I am a bit concerned about the code pdx = (PDEVICE_EXTENSION) fdo->DeviceExtension; In my filter's AddDevice function I have successfully attached the filter to the driver stack like this: pdx->NextLowerDriver = IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack ( fdo, pdo). I do IoCallDriver in SendAwaitUrb function like this: IoCallDriver(pdx->NextLowerDriver, Irp); I will be very thankful if you can help me identify the error. Here is the code of the function: #pragma PAGEDCODE NTSTATUS SendAwaitUrb(PDEVICE_OBJECT fdo, PURB urb) { // SendAwaitUrb PIO_STACK_LOCATION stack; IO_STATUS_BLOCK iostatus; KEVENT event; NTSTATUS status; PIRP Irp; PDEVICE_EXTENSION pdx; PAGED_CODE(); ASSERT(KeGetCurrentIrql() == PASSIVE_LEVEL); pdx = (PDEVICE_EXTENSION) fdo->DeviceExtension; pdx->NextLowerDriver = TopOfStack; KeInitializeEvent(&event, NotificationEvent, FALSE); Irp = IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest(IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB, pdx->NextLowerDriver, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, TRUE, &event, &iostatus); if (!Irp) { KdPrint((DRIVERNAME " - Unable to allocate IRP for sending URB\n")); return STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES; } stack = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(Irp); stack->Parameters.Others.Argument1 = (PVOID) urb; status = IoCallDriver(pdx->NextLowerDriver, Irp); if (status == STATUS_PENDING) { KeWaitForSingleObject(&event, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL); status = iostatus.Status; } return status; } // SendAwaitUrb Best regards, Dim Tag: BroadcastSystemMessage and system-level device drivers Tag: 75389

    - USB ISO CRC-16 handling I have some design questions related to USB ISO stream error handling. It is well understood that Isonchronous USB streams are not guarenteed to be error free. I long assumed that this means that they are not even error detected. I assumed that the protocol parts of the USB packets (PID, etc) where checked by the host controller and if there were errors in that USBDI would set and error code in the Status field of the USBD_ISO_PACKET_DESCRIPTOR. I had further assumed that errors in the data part of the packet were my responsibility to discover. Thus when designing an internal packet format for a device using isonchronous transport to send data to the host, I included a checksum in the packet header so the driver could validate the header information. Now I am looking more carefully at things and I realize that there is a CRC-16 field used to guard the data portions of ISO transfers. The usb2 spec in section 8.3.5 states that this CRC will give 100% coverage of 1 and 2 bit errors and that the host controller cacluates these checksums as it receives packets and will reject a packet that fails the CRC. And of course I now see that there is a USBD_STATUS_CRC error code (duh - if it was a snake it would have bitten me) that I assume is set when the host controller detects a CRC error. My question is two-fold. First, I am now thinking that if I recieve a completed "in" transfer that is marked as USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS I can assume that the host controller has validated the CRC-16 and thus all the data for that packet is valid within the bounds of the CRC-16 as described in 8.3.5. Thus I can toss my checksum in the data and blindly assume the contents of the data is valid. Is this correct? Secondly, USBD_STATUS_CRC has the "stall bit" set (i.e. USBD_STATUS_HALTED). As I understand it the pipe will have to be reset if I get this error (or perhaps after some number of errors within a URB - I seem to recall reading this somewhere, though I cannot find it now). Is this correct? And if so, is this not kind of harsh for something that is more or less supposed to happen from time to time anyway? I see many places where it is said you should not use ISO pipes if your application cannot tolerate occasional transmission errors. So given the choice of an ISO pipe I would think that it is implied that occasional errors are tolerable. In such a case I think it would be incumbent on the driver to handle such troubles and that USBDI would simply mark the error but otherwise not interfere with the state of the stream. But yet this does not seem to be the case. Am I misreading things or is there some way to decrease the sensitivity of USBDI to transmission errors when dealing with ISO pipes?

    - Disk Class Upper Filter - FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA Using the DDK samples (toaster, diskperf), I've been able to write a basic disk class upper filter. I would like to correctly determine if the device is removable media (i.e. usb thumb drive, iPod, etc). If my filter driver is added before PartMgr in the UpperFilter reg value, the below code works correctly. If it's listed after PartMgr, FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA is never set in my filter device's characteristics. Is this expected? Can I get this info elsewhere, or do I need to control the order of the UpperFilters? From the toaster filter example (IRP_MJ_PNP -> IRP_MN_START_DEVICE): // On the way up inherit FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA during Start. // This characteristic is available only after the driver stack is started!. if(deviceExtension->NextLowerDriver->Characteristics & FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA) { DeviceObject->Characteristics |= FILE_REMOVABLE_MEDIA; } **** Any info or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

So first i wanted to get the moufiltr example from DDK running as an upperfilter with the help of an inf file but somehow i cannot get it to work. I tryed to register it as an Class driver for all mouse and i made a service. Only when i start the service from my application with startservice it gives me an error code and the service doesn't run. With the help of some lecture i went to see at the device manager at the mouses but when i look at the option "class upper filters" it doesn't give me any info on if moufiltr is hooked on the mouse. I do see mouclass hooked on it at the upper class filter. My question is , can i run the filter this way or do i need to do it in a different way?

    - USB and IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID in language monitor gets errors Trying to use a USB to parallel adpater to communicate with a printer. Ocassionally get an error in the language monitor on a call to pIniPort->fn.pfnGetPrinterDataFromPort for IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID. GetLastError: [23]-Data error (cyclic redundancy check). Once this error occurs, the printer does not respond and all subsequent language monitor calls get the error. The error does not clear until the USB cable is disconnected and reconnected, where the printer then responds. What is causing this error and is there a way to clear this error from a language monitor in order to continue operations? The MSDN documentation indicates that the query for IOCTL_PAR_QUERY_DEVICE_ID is supported by USBPrint.sys and that a PJL language monitor that supports this query is compatible with USBPrint.

according to the sdk
"The BroadcastSystemMessage function sends a message to the specified
recipients. The recipients can be applications, installable drivers, network
drivers, system-level device drivers, or any combination of these system
components"

Note: system-level device drivers

Is this documentation correct?

If so, how does the WDM-type system-level device drivers get this message,
possibbly via IoRegisterPlugPlayNotification? which parameters to pass to
this call?
Or maybe another registration function?

And also, if so what parameters to pass in BroadcastSystemMessage(
DWORD dwFlags,
LPDWORD lpdwRecipients,
UINT uiMessage,
WPARAM wParam,
LPARAM lParam
) ???

such that it can be seen by a wdm driver

Look at the recipients field, the drivers is only for Win9x type systems.
The doc for BroadcastSystemMessageEx seems to be definitely wrong since the
system has to be XP or later!
