    - cancel-safe queues and Cleanup Assume a driver working with the same logic as the DDK Cancel sample implements. Suppose that one routine just removed a pending irp from the queue and then the Cleanup dispatch is called. Because the irp is not in the queue anymore, Cleanup won't find it and the irp won't be cancelled. In most cases this won't be a problem, the irp will be completed soon enough. But in some devices it is possible that the irp can't be completed for some reason. Then the irp would keep pending, possibly inserted again in the cancel-safe queue. In extreme cases the irp might be never completed, and it won't ever be cancelled either. Am I missing something, or do I need to take special care if irps removed from the queue might be not possible to complete? Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92751

    - Propagating the Pending Bit "Any time a driver handling an I/O request returns the response of the next-lower driver, the value of the pending bit in its I/O stack location (SL_PENDING_RETURNED in the Control field of the IO_STACK_LOCATION structure) must be the same as that of the next-lower driver. " ...of course they are the same! "If the driver does not set an IoCompletion routine, the I/O Manager automatically propagates the value of the bit, freeing the driver of this responsibility. However, if the driver sets an IoCompletion routine, and the next-lower driver returns STATUS_PENDING, the current driver must mark its own I/O stack location as pending. " if the driver sets an IoCompletion routine, means it has sth need to cleanup before the irp is released, it is reasonalbe bcz device stack is a nesting arch. pls correct me.

    - ddkbuild.bat Vista DDK (6000) and making brower files (currently NOT) I searched for ddkbuild and DDK so I did my due diligence. We are upgrading from OSR DDKBUILD.BAT V5.1 to OSR DDKBUILD.BAT V6.10 and more importantly from DDK2600 to DDK6000. Yes I know, I know it was last released in 2002! The project is an XP NDIS 5.1 miniport driver. Now I am trying to coax a (*.bsc) file out of this and having no joy. The 6000 DDK says that I can not define: BROWSER_INFO=1 BROWSERFILE=drivername.bsc anymore. I saw some discussion from Mark Roddy about <ddkroot>\bin\verify.src and defining USER_ENV_BROWSER_INFO=1 to turn the error off but that still does not get me my drivername.bsc (no joy) It was in http://www.techreplies.com/drivers-43/visual-studio-net-driver-wizard-339156/ Does anyone know the magic invocations required to get a browse file. We really like using ddkbuild.bat and VS6 to manage the development environment. Thanks -Ron- Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92740

    - Calling CreateFile / DeviceIOControl from a limited user account I need to be able to open a handle to a driver and communicate with it via IOCTLs. This needs to be done from a limited user account on Windows XP Pro SP2. I have a solution working when running from an administrator account but I can't get it to work from the limited user account and I cannot find any security settings the allow access. Is there a security setting of some sort that I can set to allow this functionality? Thank you. -- Matthew Townsend General Dynamics Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92737

    - PsCreateSystemThread on Win2k The DDK states that PsCreateSystemThread under Win2K must be called from the system process context only. However checking older DDK versions and older samples seem to condtradict that statement. This suggest that it can, but it shouldn't perhaps because it exposes a bug or a security hole in Win2k. So the question is if it is still possible to call PsCreateSystemThread from an abritrary process context, perhaps taking special precautions. Yeah, I know that I can schedule a work item to create the system thread. But this creates an overly sinchronization complication between the dispatch routines, the work item and the system thread.

    - Signing a Windows XP driver Hi, I'd like to sign our driver so it can be easily installed via the DIF for MSI. I tried several hours to obtain any USEFUL information on the winqual sites (which seem to be all updated for Vista, but I don't need Vista now). Usually posts like mine get answered by these two links: "Driver Signing Requirements for Windows" http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/drvsign.mspx "Summary of Windows Kernel-mode Driver Signing Requirements" http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/drvsign_perOS.mspx But actually these pages only circle around and everytime you want to follow a link "to see detailed information.." you end up on a page telling the same again (the first) or they are providing end user information (the latter) I once found something where the prices for a normal signing process were listed, but the procedure itself is still a mystery. So, I am lost in the depths of the weird half baked MSDN documentation (which only refers to vista). Can anyone provide a little step by step guide how to get my driver signed for Windows XP WITHOUT a full WHQL submission, distribution through Microsoft and logo stuff etc.pp. I just for now want that it installs on Windows XP without the warnings. thanks for any help and pointers doc Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92715

    - Howto: find tdi behavior flag of a kernel sockets client Hello, Per WDK, a kernel sockets client can set a flag-- WSK_TDI_BEHAVIOR_BYPASS_TDI--that will cause WSK to bypass TDI filters. >From WDK: "If a native WSK transport exists for the address family, socket type, and protocol that are specified when the WSK application creates a socket, then, if this flag is set, the WSK subsystem ignores any TDI filter drivers and always uses the native WSK transport." How can I find out if this flag is set by a particular driver, or a particular kernel sockets client? Thanks. Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92709

    - Virtual comport with usbser.sys Hello NG, I wrote an Inf-File which installs a virtual comport using usbser.sys for my USB device. When I connect the device to the PC the Hardware wizard comes up an installes usbser.sys. After that I can communicate with the device via a virtual Com-Port. So far so good. Now I tried this on several machines and now I am facing a problem on one of my testing machines. The driver on this machine seems to be installed properly but the Hardware wizard comes again and again. When I open the device manager the device appears under ports without an assigned Com-Port. Looking into the registry I found the entry \Device\USBSER000 which value is set to "COM11" under HKLM\Hardware\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM but my device is not accessible via that COM Port (Com 11). Any ideas? Benji Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92702

    - USB Compsite Device Driver loading and PnP events I have a question on the USB composite device. In DDK, it is said After the USB hub driver generates a PnP event for a Composite device with a set of compatible IDs that include USB\COMPOSITE, Windows searches the INF files in the inf subdirectory of the Windows installation (and, possibly, a vendor-provided floppy disk) for a match. If the device ID is matched, Windows loads the single driver that is indicated by the installation script and the generic parent driver does not come into play. If no device ID match is found, Windows uses a compatible ID, for which it loads the USB generic parent driver. I just want to know If the device ID is matched, Windows loads the single driver that is indicated by the installation scripts, then who will be responsible to generates PnP events for the multiple interfaces in the composite device?

    - help files in printer driver user interface In all previous versions of our printer drivers (for Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP) we used the WinHelp API to display context sensitive help for the printer driver user interface DLL. Windows Vista no longer supports the WinHelp functions, so I converted the driver UI to use HtmlHelp and rebuilt the old HLP files into newer CHM files. This does does not seem to work though. I can debug the driver UI and see that I am passing correct parameters to HtmlHelp() function, but nothing gets displayed. Is there some trick to using HtmlHelp from driver UI DLL? Is there a better way to add context sensitive help to driver UI? Thanks in advance, Neal Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92670

    - Volume control implementation In this post I am referring to Windows 2K/XP, things seem somewhat different in Vista and I haven't had a chance to investigate it] There is volume control in Windows Media Player (or Winamp, or any other player application) and there is one in Windows control panel. Can anyone explain what each of them actually does? My current understanding is that volume control in the player makes player application scale audio stream programmatically, after which audio stream is sent to the hardware. Volume control in the Windows Control panel doesn't change audio stream programmatically but instead works as a "knob" for hardware amplifier on the sound card. Am I correct? Is there any information on MS website that explains all this? So far I haven't found it. Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92643

    - Getting user input and rebooting the machine using a "boot load driver". Hi, The product that I am currently working on requires to present the user with a bunch of options, get the user's input, do "something" based on user's preference and finally reboot the machine to continue normally. This needs to be done in a "boot load driver" (before the login screen appears) that loads very early. Is it doable? If yes, I would like to know 1. How to display the options to the user and get the inputs (while holding the system from booting any further) 2. How to initiate a re-boot. Thank you all for your time and help.

    - cannot open callback object Please help, I am trying to create a callback object that can be used in 2 drivers. I can create the callback fine in one driver but cannot open it in another. To simplify things I tried creating the object and opening in the same driver ... in the same function, but still no luck ... opening created callback object always fails with STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND. Here is the code ... static PCALLBACK_OBJECT unloadCallbackObject; static PCALLBACK_OBJECT testCBO; void initCallbackObject(void) { NDIS_STATUS status; UNICODE_STRING unloadCallbackObjectName; OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES unloadCallbackObjectAttributes = {0}; // register a callback handler RtlInitUnicodeString(&unloadCallbackObjectName, L"\\Callback\\UnloadCBO" ); InitializeObjectAttributes( &unloadCallbackObjectAttributes, &unloadCallbackObjectName, 0, 0, 0); status = ExCreateCallback( &unloadCallbackObject, &unloadCallbackObjectAttributes, TRUE, // create FALSE); if (status == STATUS_SUCCESS) { // created ok so see if we can open it ... status = ExCreateCallback( &testCBO, &unloadCallbackObjectAttributes, FALSE, // open FALSE); ... this test open always fails! ... however, if I change create flag to true this call will succeed, even though it should in theory fail because the object should already exist!

    - BulkUSB / ReadFile Currently, I am using the BulkUSB driver sample in the Windows DDK 2600.1106. For the user-mode application, I have been following the sample in the rwbulk.c (bulkusb\exe) - using API functions like ReadFile(), WriteFile() and DeviceIoControl() to communicate with the USB reader via the driver. In my application, I have allocated a Buffer of 1024 bytes (the maximum number of bytes supported by the firmware) and the nNumberOfBytesToRead is assigned to 1024 bytes. ReadFile(hFile, &Buffer, 1024, &dwBytesRead, NULL); I have always been able to read the data from the reader. However, when my colleague tried reading 1 byte of data at a time in a while loop, there would be an error returned from the driver for the first ReadFile(). for ( ; ; ) { if (ReadFile(hFile, &chRead, 1, &dwRead, NULL)) // A byte has been read; process it. else // An error occurred in the ReadFile call. break; } } In the BulkUSB_DispatchReadWrite routine, the driver will send a request to read 1 Byte of data from the reader. However, in the driver read completion routine (BulkUSB_ReadWriteCompletion), the Irp- >IoStatus.Status was 0xC0000001 (STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL) and the Irp- >IoStatus.Information = 0. >From the CATC trace, the reader returned 5 bytes of reply for the Bulk- In request (even when the driver requested to read 1 Byte). 1. Can the driver read only 1 byte of data from the reader even if the reader has more data in its reply block ? 2. Is there any rule to assign the nNumberOfBytesToRead for ReadFile() during USB communication ? Thank you. Rgds, Catrice Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92598

    - Controller enumeration question - Backward XP UINumbers. I have two hard disk controllers in a PC, and hot plug a disk drive in to controller 1 first, then the second drive into controller 2. As expected, the first drive appears in the Disk Manager as Disk 1, and the second disk as Disk 2. Now, I reboot the PC. The disks listed in the Disk Manager are now swapped. This is expected behavior according to a KB article; "Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP perform an in-place reorder operation to optimize PnP. As a result of the reorder operation, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP may enumerate the hard disk on the secondary IDE channel before the hard disk on the primary IDE channel. The hard disk that Setup detects last is listed first." Unfortunatly, as a writer of a hard disk controller utility, it's hard to tell my users what has happened. I need to be able to present controllers in a consistent manner so they know what drive is attached in an intuitive manner. The question is, how do I get a controller numbering scheme that will "match" the disk numbers in the Disk Manager? I can't simply reverse the order (per the quote above) b/c Windows's controller enumeration scheme may change at any release of Windows (i.e., Win2K orded controller the other way). thnx.

    - Vista and NDIS 5.0, Do they play nicely together? We have an NDIS 5.0 compliant WLAN driver sitting on top of a proprietary bus driver. Vista does load the bus driver and when the bus driver enumerates the WLAN driver, Vista does install and load the WLAN driver. The only problem is that the installed WLAN driver is not recognized as a network driver. The install package works fine in Win2k and XP.

    - USB thumb drive random re-plugging ("Delayed Write Failed") I have a USB thumb drive, and I've noticed that if I have it plugged in while I plug in my USB mp3 player into a different USB port then the thumb drive's root directory will pop up in an Explorer window as if I had just unplugged and then plugged it back in again (even though I haven't touched it). I think the Plug N Play manager is actually re-enumerating it, removing and re-adding the device stack, because if I'd previously enabled write caching ("Optimize for performance" in Device Manager) and formatted it with NTFS then I'll get "Delayed Write Failed" error messages at this time. Yes, I know I can disable write caching to make the error message go away, but I think that will only make the problem less likely to happen and less likely to notice. I want the drive to work correctly, not simply fail silently. If there happened to be data transferring to the thumb drive at the moment when it disappeared and re-appeared then that data would be lost. Is this a Windows problem, USB host controller problem, or a USB device problem? Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92556

    - DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS Hi all, I developed a driver that performs some lock of memory pages in physical memory on user process behalf. It is up to this very same process to ask the driver to unlock those pages. For some reasons, I cannot use VirtualLock() and VirtualUnlock() APIs. The problem is that when I kill the process, I get this BSOD; I perfectly understand why (I really have memory pages locked in physical memory when I kill the process). My question is: does anyone know how to handle this? I mean, is there a way to unlock the pages automatically when the process is killed at driver level? How do other drivers handle this kind of problem? Thank you very much for your support. Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92552

    - About mixture of drivers and Applications 1. Can I include wdm.h in the application project to invoke the kernel driver support rotines? 2. What can I do if I want to invoke the kernel driver support rotines in application development envirment. 3. Can I include windows.h in the device driver project to call API? or build an application which runs in kernel mode? I want to do such things. The status of an application can affect the behaive of the device driver! But I can not think out the mechanism to interactive to each other! -- å¤©è?¥æ??æ??å¤©äº¦è??ï¼?äººé?´æ£é??æ?¯æ²§æ¡?ã??

    - "CdRom0" is a ObjectName of PUNICODE_STRING type. right? The PUNICODE_STRING ObjectName is a parameter in the I/O fuction IoGetDeviceObjectPointer. The "CdRom0" comes from WinObj tool which is provided by Microsoft. What should I choose to fill the entry "PUNICODE_STRING ObjectName"? CdRom0 or \device\cdrom0, or any else?

    - Nvidia FX5200 Drivers on Vista Hi All, I have downloaded the vista 64 drivers for the fx5200 but when i try to install them the setup program says it cannot find any compatible drivers. I have tried uninstalling the generic MS ones before running the install but it fails with the same message. My question: How can I get these (which I'm fairly sure to be the right ones) drivers to install properly. Thanks in advance Shelby Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92532

    - Virtual disk driver problem Hi, writing files under 200Mb to my disk is ok. Reading data from real disk and writing it through my driver to the same disk perfomed syncronous. But I have problems with larger files. IRP flow to my RW dispatch routine become infrequent (not stops!) and reading data from real disk still fast. As I understand information needed to be send to my driver is buffered somewhere in (I suggest) ntfs driver. Only after full file is buffered my driver process IRPs with full speed. If file is about 500Mb I get low physical memory and system stops, waiting my driver to complete the operation. But my driver stops too. Reading large files is ok - syncronous processing. I use DO_DIRECT_IO. IRPs are processed in my self-made thread (no system "workers"), running on LOW_REALTIME_PRIORITY. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mikle. Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92529

    - Problems with ZwCreateFile... I have to read from a file inside my driver, and i have to open the handle of the file inside a create/open dispatch routine. I really dont know all the meanings of all parameters of ZwCreateFile, i just understand the most important ones. So i just copied the code from the Oney 's book. But it doesn't work. Or better. It works just in the checked version, not in the free version... The sample code is this... NTSTATUS status; OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES oa; IO_STATUS_BLOCK iostatus; HANDLE hfile; InitializeObjectAttributes(&oa, pUnicodeString, //someone gives u this OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE | OBJ_KERNEL_HANDLE, NULL, NULL); status = ZwCreateFile(&hfile, GENERIC_READ, &oa, &iostatus, NULL, 0, FILE_SHARE_READ, FILE_OPEN, FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_NONALERT , NULL, 0); my guess is.... i am doing wrong the only thing i have not copied from the book... the UNICODE_STRING... the string is : \??\C:\mydir \myfile.xxx ...i even tryed \GLOBAL??\C:\mydir\myfile.xxx with no success.... I really dont understand the concept of "context" of a running kernel code, and how to set up names of devices considering the "context" in what ur code is running... Sometimes u have to use \\. \C: , sometimes \??\C: , sometimes \GLOBAL??\C: ... little bit confused about it...can any1 give a little explanation? Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92528

    - How does a NDIS intermediate driver work with respect to the TCP/IP stack? I'm running the CHX-I packet filter on Windows 2000, and I am looking to get a better idea of how it works. I'm hoping you guys can help me. One of the CHX-I developers said the following about it: "The central piece of this new architecture is the Chx IM driver, which is an NDIS intermediate driver, placed between miniport drivers (network interface drivers) and protocol drivers." Can anyone tell me where the NDIS intermediate driver sits with respect to the TCP/IP stack? Who intercepts incoming packets first -- the NDIS intermediate driver or the TCP/IP stack? If the NDIS intermediate driver intercepts them first, then will it hand the packets to the TCP/IP stack after processing them, or is the TCP/IP stack out of the picture?

    - NET_BUFFER_DATA_LENGTH Problem Help! Under Vista, I've run into a problem where NET_BUFFER_DATA_LENGTH(NB) is not returning the correct value. I'm seeing situations (in this case, ICMP echo packets undergoing IP fragmentation) where NET_BUFFER_DATA_LENGTH(NB) is smaller than the cumulative total of the value of MmGetMdlByteCount() for each MDL in the MDL chain for the net buffer. I assumed that all I needed to do to query the number of bytes for a NetBuffer was to call NET_BUFFER_DATA_LENGTH(NB)as opposed to walking the mdl chain for the net buffer and accumulate the length of each mdl. Is this an incorrect assumption on my part? Tag: Difxapp error list Tag: 92523

I've got a Difxapp error message in the log of my MSIEXEC output. My drivers
and registry settings that are in the INF are not getting set correctly.

I've got a 0x424 error (somebody must know what this means), but I don't
know where to find this information?

Using the Error Lookup tool bundled with MSVC (or just looking in
<winerror.h>), 0x424 is "The specified service does not exist as an
installed service".

You might also consider using wilogutl.exe (part of the Platform SDK) to
view your MSI logs -- its HTML view has lots of features for finding &
diagnosing errors.

Convert to decimal and grep WINERROR.H for a value.
