    - How do I Load a new Driver? I'm a bit confused about how I load a driver for an FDO. I've got a bus enumerator driver, it detects a new piece of hardware. Now I want to create a PDO that controls access to the hardware and demand load a functional driver that creates its own FDO, rooted with the PDO I've created in my bus enumerator. How do I do this? Thanks. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67746

    - Repost: DIFxApp Legacy Mode on Windows 2000 This is a repost but I am now invoking the tech support powers of the MSDN Universal Subscription. Please forgive my redundancy. I have an installation for an unsigned driver that I have configured for legacy mode (flags set to 0x8 in the MsiDriverPackages custom table). It works fine on XP but fails on 2000. The error code that I am seeing from DIFxApp is 0x800B0100 which I believe indicates a signature problem. What else do I need to do to get this to work? Mike Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67745

    - Identify attached devices to an usb hub Hi freaks, I'm looking for a way to solve the following problem: I've a pc with several usb hubs attached to. To these hubs there are usb devices attached in turn (typical 4 usb-serial converter and a memery stick). Due to the undefined connection sequence I'm not able to predict which COM port is located to which usb hub - but my software have to know it for sure. I've been able to find a way to identify all to the system attached usb devices (.NET framework: System.Management.PropertyDataCollection). But further more I have to know, which usb device is attached to which usb hub. Is there something like a path which shows me the actual physical tree structure of hubs and devices and their assigned com ports? (I know: It is a bus system ;-) ) \\pc\usb_01\hub_02\device_01->(ComPort 05) \device_02->(ComPort 02) \device_03->(ComPort 03) \device_04->(ComPort 04) \\pc\usb_03\hub_01\device_01->(ComPort 01) ... Where can I get these information (registry) an how can I obtain this information by software (e.g. C#) Thanks in advance! Mario Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67742

    - don't go to stanby from C3 state I am makeing WDM streaming driver like USBintel. we supported selective suspend. But we faced a new problem. Some PC can go to Stanby mode with pluging in our capture driver. But some PC can NOT go to Stanby mode with pluging in our capture driver. All PC that we can test, can go to Stanby mode with pluging in our capture driver before we building SelfSuspend mode ( or selective suspend mode ) in our capture driver. Unfortunately, the PC can not go to Stanby mode was not near me. I think that, when a PC go to suspend mode, IdleNotificationRequestCompletion must be called. some PC's may not call that routin. I don't write codes for WaitWake because our device not support remote wake. I hope to some advice for facing that Bug. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67741

    - ethernet raw sockets Hello We need to establish a communication between two devices. They use the ethernet protocol, but no other protocol above (neither IP, nor TCP, UDP...), we want to make the frames by ourselves and send our own data with our own protocol. Is it possible? In this post http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.development.device.drivers&tid=2046a88b-e302-4bb1-ba95-b472995d7c4f&cat=en-us-msdn&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=en-us&m=1&p=1 I have understood that it is possible using raw sockets, but how can I do that I want under Windows XP?

    - Problem with usbccid driver I am developing an usb smartcard reader using the usbccid driver from Microsoft. The reader works fine except in "hard" condition tests (detailed below) that have 2 critical consequences: (1) Reboot of the PC or (2) Impossibility to detect an usb product anymore (as if the usb plug-and-play service was crashed). For the second consequence, a reboot of the PC is also necessary to find again a normal behaviour of the PC. My smartcard reader is not powered by USB, but has an external power supply. Unfortunately I am unable to find a repeatedly test sequence that make my reader crash the PC but here is what I have noticed: (1) Reboot of the PC appears after a lot of quick insertion/removal of both USB and power supply. I have a blue screen with information: BAD_POOL_CALLER (i.e. free buffer failed) (2) The impossibility the find any usb product anymore appears when one or more CCID messages was/were sent from the PC and the reader did not answered it/them because the power supply was voluntary removed. So I want to know if somebody has got similar problems with the usbccid driver or an idea of what I am doing wrong in my code to produce those behaviours.

    - Problem with UnbindFrom() I have problem with unbinding IM driver from all above and bellow components. I have tried it by this way: INetCfgComponent* cfgCompBuff[256]; INetCfgComponent* pncc=NULL; INetCfgComponentBindings* inetCfgCompBindings = NULL; INetCfgBindingPath* pncbp=NULL; hr = pnc->FindComponent(szComponentId, &pncc); while (S_OK == (hr = HrGetNextBindingPathToDelete(pncc, EBP_BELOW, &pncbp, &inetCfgCompBindings))) { ZeroMemory(cfgCompBuff, sizeof(cfgCompBuff)); hr = pnc->EnumComponents(&GUID_DEVCLASS_NET, &enumCfgComp); if(hr == S_OK) { hr = enumCfgComp->Next(256, (INetCfgComponent**)&cfgCompBuff, &celtFetched); for(i = 0; i < celtFetched; i++) { hr = inetCfgCompBindings->UnbindFrom(cfgCompBuff[i]); } } enumCfgComp->Release(); ReleaseObj(pncbp); } while (S_OK == (hr = HrGetNextBindingPathToDelete(pncc, EBP_ABOVE, &pncbp, &inetCfgCompBindings))) { ZeroMemory(cfgCompBuff, sizeof(cfgCompBuff)); hr = pnc->EnumComponents(&GUID_DEVCLASS_NETTRANS, &enumCfgComp); if(hr == S_OK) { hr = enumCfgComp->Next(256, (INetCfgComponent**)&cfgCompBuff, &celtFetched); for(i = 0; i < celtFetched; i++) { hr = inetCfgCompBindings->UnbindFrom(cfgCompBuff[i]); } } enumCfgComp->Release(); ReleaseObj(pncbp); } Return values from UnbindFrom() functions are S_OK in case that binding exist, but when I see Properties dialog of unbinded network connection - check box is still there and IM driver is functional. What is wrong with that way of unbinding ? Peter Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67727

    - Event Notifications from Stream Class Minidriver Hi, How can I get Event Nofications from Stream Class to Client? Whenever the Hardware Interrupt occurs, I want to receive notifications from Minidriver. So far I am coding like this on client program: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/VidCapStream/hh/vidcapstream/avsover_5e27cc99-0dca-497c-a539-6f188d46374f.xml.asp And on the mindriver side, 1.

    - Telephony service will not start, error 1053 The 'Phone and modem options' in the controlpanel have stopped working. I've traced it to the 'Telephony' service that will not start. I gives a 1053 error telling me that the service could not be started. To my knowledge nothing changed in the configuration. The OS is W2K Server (english version). Untill now WinFax has always worked without a problem (simple modem connected to COM2), now it will not work anymore because of these errors. Any idea what could be wrong ?

    - Problem when using MmWriteCombined in MmMapIoSpace Hi, After specifying MmWriteCombined in MmMapIoSpace, the Write through a PCI Device became much faster but data written does not seems to be correct. The DDK says the when using MmWriteCombined, the requested memory cannot be cached, but can be used as a frame buffer by the video port driver. Why there some data are lost or not correct when using this Cache type? Also, does Windows programs any hardware to increase the performance? What is the best way to map a PCI base register to get the best performance for the write access (write bursts)? -- Thanks, Daniel Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67706

    - disable and re-enable a device Hi, I'm trying to disable a device by issuing an irp (IRP_MN_QUERY_REMOVE_DEVICE) followed by another irp (IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE). to re-enable it again, I'm sending another irp(IRP_MN_START_DEVICE) but I'm getting an error stating STATUS_DELETE_PENDING. Hence, I managed to "disable" a device, but fail to "re-enable" it back. Anybody know the right way of doing this? I'm running as a filter driver. Is there a way to force the system to re-enumerate all the devices - so I could get the device back? cheers. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67694

    - purging ntfs cache from driver - again, sorry... I'm reposting this as I haven't found the answer that I'm looking for, and there's no answer from microsoft yet, and I've been guaranteed 2 days response time.... Hi, I'm trying to purge a specific file data cached by the OS... How do I accomplish that? I've tried to use various techniques (incl setting the flag FILE_NO_INTERMEDIATE_BUFFERING) but the data is still cached. I'm trying to force the system to re-read data in a dvdrom. Apparently, the DVD rom won't be accessed if part of the data (few hundred megs) are cached in the file system. I want this to be accssed each time - or when I want it to. i'm assuming that the file won't be memory-mapped into the memory. I found that mounting and dismounting the drive would purge the cache, but this is a fairly big operation... wondering if there's a better way to do it. This is evident if you try to copy some large files, cancelling it halfway and do a re-copy would take shorter time as the reading is done via cache... but if you disable the dvdrom, and re-enable it, the copy time would take as long as the first time. thanks in advance.

    - Two drivers for same device Is it possible to have two different low-level drivers claiming the same physical device, and dynamically switch between them? One would be the Microsoft supplied one and another a custom one. I can't implement this as a filter driver, because both claim ownership at the hardware and interrupt level. I don't want to "replace" the system supplied driver. Just to temporarily disable it and activate the custome one and vice-versa. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67686

    - How to delete system file in WinXP sp2 on AMD 64-Bit platform? Dear Sir, In WinXP 64bit platform, when I use DeleteFile() function to delete c:\windows\system32\drivers\a.sys ,it can not be deleted successfully , the error code is 2(GetLastError ,means can not find the file, but the file is in the folder), I guess the system protect the system folder ,then how can I delete the files in the system folder ? BTW,I also tried as follows,failed again: 1. I write the hard code of the path "c:\windows\system32\drivers\a.sys"; 2. I use GetSystemWow64Directory () function get the system directory,message box shows the path is "c:\windows\sysWow64",I use the return path +"\drivers\a.sys" in DeleteFile() function; 3. I new a A.txt file in system32 folder,use the above two method to delete the file; All above 3 methods,GetLastError() return value shows can not find the special file. 3ks!

    - Unplug the usb power cause a system crash in winxp+sp2 I made a bda driver for our usb box. It seems working well until I unplug the power wire when it running in winxp+sp2.(it saids that it did not crash in win2k or winxp+sp1, so strange.) In the read data routine, I insert the irp to a list and in the complete routine I remove it from the list. Like this: (I simply use the global variables.) Insert: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- KeAcquireSpinLock(&g_ks_pl, &g_old_pk_irql); InsertTailList(&g_irp_list, &p_irp->Tail.Overlay.ListEntry); KeReleaseSpinLock(&g_ks_pl, g_old_pk_irql); status = IoCallDriver(p_devobj, p_irp); --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Removal: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- KeAcquireSpinLock(&g_ks_pl, &old_irql); if (IsListEmpty(&g_irp_list)) { KeReleaseSpinLock(&g_ks_pl, old_irql); return FALSE; } RemoveHeadList(&g_irp_list); KeReleaseSpinLock(&g_ks_pl, old_irql); --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- After I unplug the power of the usb, winxp+sp2 would crash in usbport.sys. I commented out these codes, then unplug the power, no crash. I did not test the status of the irp, because I thought it was useless. I simply insert the irp to the queue and remove it after it completed. Could some one tell me what's wrong with my code? Advance thanks! Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67659

    - How to generate CLASSGUID and PCMCIA device ID to write in the INF file Hi everybody, Iam writing Win 2k PNP drivers for PCMCIA 16 bit PC card. In that process, Iam trying to write .INF file, But I have two doubts in preparing that file. 1. What is CLASS GUID. How it can be generated.I saw some examples INF files in my system.In each file I observed "CLASS GUID". What is the procedure to generate CLASS GUID? 2. "PCMCIA\Manufacturer-Product-NNNN" NNNN is a four digit Hex code. I can write Manufcaturer ID and Product ID. But I was not able to create the four digit hex code. I used DTPL.exe to generate PCMCIA unique device id. I executed DTPL with our card CIS file as input. But It is not generating the device ID and displays as ... "Device ID cannot be created for the PC card" What could be the reason? Is there any problem in the CIS information or due to any other problem this message may come? Please guide me in sovling the above problems. Thank u, Mahender. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67640

    - Windows XP x64 crashdump problem I have a SCSI HBA serving as the boot controller in a dual processor hyper-threaded system running WinXP x64 edition. Upon generating a crash via Crash-On-Ctrl-Scroll or the HCT crashdumptest, I have seen proof via WinDbg that the runtime (miniport) driver is still running when the crashdump driver is being loaded. Specifically, I have seen an interrupt generated during crashdump initialization get serviced by the runtime driver. I have also seen the one second timer I have continue to run on the runtime driver. No need to explain what a driver collision like this can do to the hardware. If I disable hyper-threading and one of the processors, the problem goes away. Why isn't crashdump processing disabling the other processors? Thanks Scott Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67628

    - on windows XP 64 bit platform, IoCallDriver cause system hanging hi All: I am porting a 32bit driver to windows 64 bit platform, my drivers is tow parts, one is a pcmcia ata driver for accessing media; the other is a filter driver for handling s1 s3 s4 power status, which is hook on pcmica bus drivers and my function driver. my drivers works well on windows xp 32 bit, but system resuming from hibernating(s4), sometimes after cover the progress of resuming, the system is hung.I traced my drivers, found that, after filter driver calling IoCallDriver, the system is hung. the following source code is for reading/writing register instead of HalGetBusData or HalGetBusOffset which are obsolete. ULONG ReadDWord( PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject, USHORT Offset ) { ULONG RawData = 0; MBXConfigRegisterBufferRead( DeviceObject, &RawData, Offset&0xFC, sizeof(ULONG) ); return RawData; } NTSTATUS MBXConfigRegisterBufferRead( PDEVICE_OBJECT DeviceObject, // target device object PVOID buffer, //the read buffer ULONG offset, //buffer offset ULONG Length //the length of buffer ) { PIRP pIrp = NULL; KEVENT event; NTSTATUS status; PIO_STACK_LOCATION stack = NULL; PDEVICE_OBJECT AttachedPDO = NULL; IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioSattus; PDEVICE_EXTENSION pdx = NULL ; ULONG Transferred; pdx =(PDEVICE_EXTENSION)DeviceObject->DeviceExtension; KdPrint((" Enter MBXConfigRegisterBufferRead \n")); if( KeGetCurrentIrql() < DISPATCH_LEVEL ) { KdPrint(("KeGetCurrentIrql() < DISPATCH_LEVEL\n")); RtlZeroMemory( buffer,Length); KeInitializeEvent( &event, NotificationEvent, FALSE ); // //get the pdo of function 0! // AttachedPDO = pdx->NextLowerDriver;//LowerDeviceObject; if( NULL == AttachedPDO ) { KdPrint(("Error!

    - Receive send packet Hi All, I have the following scenario: A virtual Miniport driver that indicate a receive packet whenever a send command is issued, in order to receive a send packet by the stack. A protocol driver binds to this Miniport driver to send and receive packets from a user-mode application (via IOCTRL). This work if a packet is read from the Miniport driver by the protocol driver that is receive by the stack via a real network adapter. But if a write packet is issued from the user-mode application a send packet is commanded to the Miniport the packet is looped-back and indicated as a received packet, then the stack receives the packet as well as the protocol driver. This is because the protocol driver is bind to the Miniport and receives all packets from the Miniport. So how can I change this to not receive my own send packets but still receive those coming from the stack? Thanks. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67615

    - Whats wrong with my Old driver? I have changed INF file of general\portio driver which is shipped with XP DDK. I have just just changed the ports configuration in INF file for accessing the ECP (LPT1) printer port of my machine though before installation I manually changed system assigned resources of ECP (LPT1) port which were assigned by OS to avoide any confilict. CHANGES that I've made in INF file to drive the ECP port by genport.sys [PortIO.LC0] ConfigPriority=DESIRED IOConfig=378-37b(3ff::) ; 10 bit decode ranging from 378 - 37B Now every thing works fine as far as I'm using genport.sys to read\write the printer port but don't know why my existing driver is not working any more , any idea? My old driver use same port addresses. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67591

    - Create bsod from user mode? Is there any user-mode equivalent of KeBugCheck, or some other way of causing a user-mode BSOD with a code that won't be easily confused with anything else (like 0xE2)? I have a hard-to-reproduce boot problem with a ps/2 keyboard filter driver. If everything is OK then I have a user-mode app restart the machine. If/when I can repro the problem I want something in user mode that'll cause me to drop into Windbg. (I know causing int3 will do it if I boot with /debug in boot.ini, but because the machine runs unattended and reboots every 5 minutes I wanted to try and use /crashdebug instead, so that when it goes wrong I only get the info relevant to the boot that fails) Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67587

    - Display "New hardware" wizard on an orphanded device programmatically We have situations where the user selects "cancel" on the new hardware wizard dialogs before the driver is completely installed (apparently they get confused or something.) The driver files have been pre-installed using SetupCopyOEMInf. This is a USB device and if they unplug and re-plug the device in the wizard comes up again and works fine (at least on XP where I'm testing.) Is there a way to do this from a program? I can detect the device on the bus and that it wasn't setup correctly. Now I want to "reinstall" the device to set it up correctly. If I right click in the device manager it displays the new hardware wizard. I want to do this from my application, just cause the new hard found dialog to appear and again and do its normal thing. Any way to do this? Thanx! Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67586

    - HELP! - ZwWriteFile() from a hooked ZwOpenFile() always crashes Hi My driver is hooking ZwOpenFile(). In my hook function, except calling the original ZwOpenFile(), I also call a logging function that uses ZwWriteFile() to print log data to file. For some reason, each time I call my log function from ZwOpenFile() and ZwWriteFile() is called, I get a BSOD with UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f). The log function uses mutexes for synchronization. Using this log function from another hooked function (ZwCreateFile) works ok. Attached WinDbg's dump analysis. Thanks ================================================================ ******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f) This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc) Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes: If kv shows a taskGate use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv. Else if kv shows a trapframe use .trap on that value Else .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap) Endif kb will then show the corrected stack.

    - Firmware binaries and where to store them We have firmware, represented by binary files, stored on the hard drive, which are loaded onto our chip (which resides on a PCI card) by an unclassified WDM driver in Windows XP. During development, we have just installed those files into %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\ourfolder, but everyone on our team has access administrative access to those directories. If a consumer installs our card as an administrator and wants another user, without administrative privs, to use the card, this is a problem, right? In the DDK, under Still Image Devices...File System Access, I found a note that a driver could use the "All Users" profile, and create a subdirectory under the Application Data directory. Is this the best place to store my binary firmware images? When I install stuff and I want to keep record of it in the system registry, should I put it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MYFOLDER?

    - stream header in single bulk packet in video class uncompressed bulk stream We're writing a video class device using XP SP2 built in driver. (Uncompressed, YUY2, 640x480, in bulk mode) Is it possible to send the stream header (as video class spec 2.4) at the beginning of a new frame in a separate packet, without any video data following in the same packet ? This is much easier when interfacing to external sensors without any external FIFO between, we can do that in the idle time between each frame. But seems that when we do this, Graphedit shows just a black screen. When we append some "test" YUY2 data, we see the test image. But "appending" video data in the same packet would be difficult, when interfacing to the real sensor (we're using FX2LP in slave fifo mode). Any experience on this ?

    - Windows Vista Mainboard Drivers Problems I have installed Windows Vista (Beta 1) on my pc but there was a great problem. My mainboard is a Gigabyte Intel Chipset and Windows doesn't install the good drivers. I tried installing the "old" ones (Xp drivers) but it didn't work. And since the mainboard is not set properly there is no way I can set up my soundcard (wich is onboard Realtek AC'97) or my network adapter (PCI - Realtek). Everytime I install any of them my PC simply resets and Windows restarts. Another strage thing happening is that windows detects automaticly my network card but loads it's own but it doesn't set it correctly. When I checked the system configuration from Hardware Manager, I noticed that at the PCI bridge section -> Resources there is a messege that says that it is not functional. I certanly would like to get this working so any advice would be great. Thanks. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67517

For some reason, it seems that sometims there are 2 threads in the code section that supposed to be synchronized.. also, i somtimes get a BSOD from ZwWriteFile and i think this is the reason. Any idea why the mutex isn't working ? Thanks. Tag: Official INTERNAL Ioctls Tag: 67510

What makes an internal IOCTL to being officially documented and supported?

1) Mentioned in the DDK documentation
2) Defined in a ntddXXX include file in the inc subdir of the ddk
3) Defined in a ntddXXX include file in an inc subdir of the src tree

I suppose that the case 2 is good enough. But what about the last case?
Seems to be a grey area. If it's official why the include file is not in the
main inc subdir. But on the other hand, if it's private why use that
particular filename convention?

Thanks

Mentioned in header I think.

I'd say an IOCTL is official if it has a DDK doc section devoted to it and
headed with its name, like IOCTL_DISK_GET_LENGTH_INFO.
