 - Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Hi, I have developed a WDM based device driver for a PCI card. I want to write an installer which will install the driver and load it without the need to use 'Add Hardware' utility. I have tried InstallShield9.0, but it does not support driver installation. InstallShield 11.0 does not support installation of unsigned driver. I tried using various Setup Api like 'SetupDiInstallDevice', 'SetupInstallFile' etc., but nothing is working. I have created a new class in my inf file since the PCI card doesn't fit already existing classes. I can't use UpdatePlugAndPlayDevice function as I want my installer to work for first time installation as well. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Mayur Tag: Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Tag: 73901

 - Why I can not make a packet for NdisMIndicateReceive? Hi all, I am trying to build a packet to be received by netvmini adapter. In initialization phrase, I allocate the packet buffer bool and packet descripter pool: // // Allocate a buffer pool for receive buffers. by lchen // NdisAllocateBufferPool( &Status, &Adapter->RecvBufferPool, 1024 ); if(Status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS) { DEBUGP(MP_ERROR, ("NdisAllocateBufferPool for recv buffer failed\n")); break; } // // Allocate packet pool for receive indications // NdisAllocatePacketPool( &Status, &Adapter->RecvPacketPool, 1024, PROTOCOL_RESERVED_SIZE_IN_PACKET); if(Status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS) { DEBUGP(MP_ERROR, ("NdisAllocatePacketPool failed\n")); break; } When I build my packet triggered by the IoControl from my application, I allocate memory, NDIS_BUFFER and NDIS_PACKET: status = NdisAllocateMemoryWithTag( &pBufVA, uBufLen, NIC_TAG ); if( status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS ) { DEBUGP(MP_ERROR, ("Fail to allocate memory for the generated packet.\n")); break; } // // Allocate packet buffer // NdisAllocateBuffer( &status, &pNdisBuffer, pAdapter->RecvBufferPool, pBufVA, NIC_BUFFER_SIZE ); if(status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS) { DEBUGP(MP_ERROR, ("NdisAllocateBuffer failed, status = 0x%x\n", status)); break; } // // Allocate a packet descriptor for receive packets from a preallocated pool. // NdisAllocatePacket( &status, &MyPacket, pAdapter->RecvPacketPool ); if( status != NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS ) { DEBUGP(MP_ERROR, ("NdisAllocatePacket failed, status = 0x%x\n", status)); break; } NdisChainBufferAtFront( MyPacket, pNdisBuffer ); MyPacket->Private.Head->Next =NULL; MyPacket->Private.Tail=NULL; NdisMIndicateReceivePacket( pAdapter->AdapterHandle, &MyPacket, 1); NdisFreeBuffer( pNdisBuffer ); pNdisBuffer = NULL; NdisDprFreePacket(MyPacket); However, the driver crashes due to the page fault error, when calling NdisAllocatePacket( &status, &MyPacket, pAdapter->RecvPacketPool ); How can I fix the bug?

 - Establishing a secure channel between a device and user mode application I don't suppose that there are any cryptographic services available from kernel mode that would permit the establishment of a secure channel between a device and a user mode application. I see a few cryptic remarks on COPP in the DDK but that seems only to apply to video drivers. Regards, George. Tag: Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Tag: 73890

 - polling a USB interrupt endpoint Hi, I need some info on how to create a linked list to IRPs/URBs and send it down to the bus driver to poll my USB device interrupt endpoint. I would recycle the IRP in my completion routine and add it back to the linked list so that I am sure that there is always atleast one read req pending so that I don't miss any interrupts. Regds.

 - remap a kernel mode driver. Hello All, Is it possible to remap a whole kernel mode driver(.sys) or a part of it (particularly read only portions) and make the system aware of it? There should be a way the system finds address (image base) of a loaded driver in a kernel space memory region. If I remap a driver then how would I let the system know about it? I would be grateful if somebody answers it ASAP. Thanking you in advance. Tag: Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Tag: 73879

 - Timeout Implementation I have a USB device and WDM driver I've developed with heavy borrowing from Oney's book. The device sends data to the host PC using a bulk IN pipe. The driver buffers this data until requested by the User code. I'd like to implement a mechanism whereby the user code can request data, but if it's not available, it can can block up to a programmable timeout delay, until the data is available. This seems like a common need, but I'm unsure how to implement it. Should the timeout be implemented in user or kernel mode? It seems I could do it either way. The method I'm considering is: The user code makes the request via an IOCTL If data is available, then the data is returned, with a STATUS_SUCCESS. If no data is available, then the IRP is cached and STATUS_PENDING is returned. The user code completes if STATUS_SUCCESS was returned. If STATUS_PENDING was returned, then the user code calls WaitForSingleObject with the desired timeout When data is available, the IRP is completed with the data and STATUS_SUCCESS If the user code times out, then I would cancel the IRP (Is there a risk of a race here? What if my driver is completing the IRP when the cancel occurs?) Any general suggestions are welcome.

 - Ignoring ASSERT w/ Chk Build + WinDBG Is there a way to ignore certain assertions that end up in a DbgPrompt and WinDbg requesting input? I'm using XPSP2 and a checked hal, kernel and filter manager. I want the assertions from the filter manager and some kernel assertions but I also get ones for doing things that I don't care about. For instance, copying files from a cmd prompt on the debug target to setup my debugging session causes a boat load of assertions in MmIsNonPagedSystemAddressValid like the following... *** Assertion failed: MmIsNonPagedSystemAddressValid (MemoryDescriptorList->StartVa) *** Source File: d:\xpsprtm\base\ntos\mm\iosup.c, line 2939 Break repeatedly, break Once, Ignore, terminate Process, or terminate Thread (boipt)? It would be so nice if I could ignore these automatically. I think I'm probably missing something really simple but for whatever reason I haven't been able to discover what it is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jeremy Boschen Tag: Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Tag: 73865

 - The netvmini DDK sample and NdisInterlockedInsertTailList() Hey there, I'm currently in the process of browsing through the DDK samples but I stumbled across something odd in the netvmini sample. According to MSDN, "any driver function that calls NdisInterlockedInsertTailList cannot be pageable code". However, the function NICAllocAdapter() is defined to be in pageable code with the pragma statement #pragma NDIS_PAGEABLE_FUNCTION(NICAllocAdapter) Is this a mistake in the sample?

 - Security Digital Card standard driver in Vista Beta Dear all, The SD card standard driver in Vista beta version is different from the one in XP. One of the differences is the programming way of Normal Interrupt Status Signal Enable register(please refer to SD Host Controller Standard Specification). In Windows XP, those bits are always set, but in Vista just two bits "Transfer Complete" and "Command Complete" Signal Enable are set. So the SD standard driver in Vista will miss the DMA Interrupt Status and Signal, unless DMA Interrupt Status is set and is got together with Transfer Complete Status by driver. In my case, for our SD host controller operation the DMA Interrupt Status is later than Transfer Complete Status a little while. When SD driver gets Tansfer Complete Status and at the same time DMA Interrupt Status is not set, it never gets the interrupt from DMA Interrupt Signal because the relative signal enable bit is always off. I think always turn on all Normal Interrupt Status Signal Enable registers is a better idea, will the SD driver be improved in Vista future version?

 - SCSI device mapping Hi all, We have an application (written in C/C++) for management of SCSI storage devices. Through this application, we are creating a logical drive (LD) using two physical disks and this LD should show up in the list of volumes in Windows. The job of exposing the newly created LD to Windows is done by the device driver for the RAID controller. So after this is successfully done, one can right click on My Computer, then Manage -> Disk Management, and can see the new LD there. The problem is, in some cases (that is, for some version of the application) this newly created LD is not getting exposed to Windows. To reiterate, the application as such does not expose the LD to Windows (it is done by the driver). But we noticed that with the same driver version, a different version of the application causes this problem. So the problem _might_ be with the application. In particular, the device driver does not get any error, but is not receiving READ/WRITE/READ_CAPACITY calls for the LD created. Is this possible to happen because the application is doing something wrong (perhaps, locking up some resource)? Under what situation can such a thing happen? The system is a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with Xeon processor. Any help is appreciated. If this is not a right forum for this topic, please direct me to the right one. Thank you.

 - Multiple pending IRPs causes other thread to block. I'm currently implementing a packet capturing intermediate driver. One of the IOCTL I have set up is a request to capture a packet of a certain type. In my case, IOCTL_CAPTURE_PACKET is METHOD_BUFFERED, not overlapped and contains UINT of EthernetType to capture. This IRP is pended until a packet meeting the requirements is seen at which point the IM driver copies the packet content into the SystemBuffer of the IRP and completes the IRP. I also have IOCTL_CANCEL_ALL_PENDING_IRP and IOCTL_SEND_PACKET which cancels all current pending IRP's and sends a packet out respectively. In my initial tests my application side program was a series of cmdline executable that simply called DeviceIoControl() with the correct IOCTL code. Later I moved it to a Win32 Application with threads. This is where my problem began. A single pending IRP blocks the entire application form making further IRP requests. My question is this:- do I need to use Overlapped? Can I open multiple handles to the adapter instead (I am about to try this, fairly sure it will work but not sure if that's the best solution) Any help, is always appreciated! Thank you!

 - Udp sending performance in Gbit Ethernet Hello, This topic has been previously discussed in win32.programmer.networks, but no clear solution has been found. It seems that when sending UDP packets at maximum speed, the throughput of the sending drops significantly when the payload size is increased from 1024 to 1025 bytes. This seems to be connected to the NIC interrupts in some way, it seems like that 1024-byte packets can be sent at full rate, but 1025 byte packets only once per interrupt (and per sending application). I made a web page of the situation so far, and it is located at: http://www.kolumbus.fi/juha.lemmetti/Udp.html If you have explanation or work-around, please reply to this post or to me (e-mail is on the web page).

 - Multi-interface USB Device : how to get a endpoint handle ? Greetings, I am writing a lower filter driver for a USB device, and I need to write some data to it. How can I get a pipe handle to an endpoint ? In most of cases, you can get them while choosing a configuration, by calling USBD_CreateConfigurationRequestEx. The problem is that my device has one configuration, several interfaces, and my filter driver is installed for only one of them. So I can't use USBD_CreateConfigurationRequestEx. Is there another way ? Tag: Installer Program for WDM based unsigned driver Tag: 73702

Hi,

I have developed a WDM based device driver for a PCI card. I want to
write an installer which will install the driver and load it without
the need to use 'Add Hardware' utility.

I have tried InstallShield9.0, but it does not support driver
installation. InstallShield 11.0 does not support installation of
unsigned driver. I tried using various Setup Api like
'SetupDiInstallDevice', 'SetupInstallFile' etc., but nothing is
working. I have created a new class in my inf file since the PCI card
doesn't fit already existing classes. I can't use
UpdatePlugAndPlayDevice function as I want my installer to work for
first time installation as well.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mayur
