    - KMDF DMA questions? Hello, 1. Can I have two DMA transactions active at same time? 2. If not, can I create two DMA enabler and have two DMA transactions active for each enabler at same time? 3. Can KMDF handle as big as 2M Bytes DMA in one transaction? Because I pass a 2M bytes data buffer to request, from SgList->Elements[0].Length, I only got SgList->Elements[0].Length= 0x7000, dose it mean I can only transfer 0x7000 bytes in one transfer? Since my DMA mode is WdfDmaProfilePacket. Thanks very much, Xinshou Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 100012

    - Question about WdfRequestCompleteWithInformation Hello, I have a wait queue in my IODeviceControl to wait for interrupt happen. When I need to wait, I will forward my IOCTL request to the queue, when interrupt happen, in DPC, I retrieve the request, and call: WdfRequestCompleteWithInformation(request, STATUS_SUCCESS, outputBufferLenght); to complete request. My application is C++ with Java native interface. I found that if I call above function with outputBufferLenght, Exception will happen in Java object which is If I call above function with 0 lenght, everything is OK except I didn't get my return data from IOCTL. My I/O type is buffered, my buffer is not big, about 48 bytes. My question is what above function did to my output buffer in two cases? How come it cause Java exception?

    - Legacy driver WHQL signing If this is posted in this wrong place, I apologize in advance. I work for a very small company and we have some interest in getting a 2004 era web cam driver signed by WHQL. We use it through direct show. The driver was originally signed but we have modified the .inf file to change the Manufacturer, VendorID, and ProductID. Is it going to be possible to get it signed by WHQL? We don't have the source code for the driver and we have a hard time getting any attention from the company that wrote the driver. The driver also does not work well under Vista. Our target population changes there hardware very very slowly so we anticipate at least five more years of working under XP. Does anyone have any advice? Can anyone recommend a consultant?

    - PCI-e interrupt latency & number of interrputs limitations Hello All, May be no one here knows a correct answer for such a close hardware related issues, but this piece of knowledge may be very useful for other driver developers. In one of my previous posts I wrote about a PCI devices, located behind PCI-to-PCI-e Bridge, the topic is located here http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/browse_thread/thread/3c71820bb5e5b463/9fb6213ca87b9dc7#9fb6213ca87b9dc7. Drilling down to the root of the problem I discovered very strange behavior. It seems PCI-to-PCI-e Bridge limits number of interrupts it actually translates to the PCI-e hierarchy Root Complex. In my case I got about 64 interrupts per second in total from all the secondary PCI bus devices. I have checked PCI-to-PCI-e Bridges from two manufacturers - Texas and PLX Technology - both shown very similar picture with very minor deviations in details. No wonder I can not work in a regular way with devices on the secondary PCI bus! Does any one know about such limitations and the reason they exist? With best regards, Vladimir S.

    - IRP_MN_REMOVE not getting called Hi, I have a typical problem of IRP_MN_REMOVE not getting called. The scenario is like this. We have a virtual USB bus which creates PDOs for each simulated device. We could simulate a mass storage device. We can 'unplug' it (from an application) by means of our bus driver sending IoInvalidateDeviceRelations and then reporting the device as missing. We subsequently get REMOVE_DEVICE for the PDO and it successfully unloads. However when we are copying some data to the device, if we 'unplug' it while still copy is in progress then we don't get the IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE from the PNP manager. We see that there are no pending requests (IRPs) with us and we have successfully completed IRP_MN_SURPRISE_REMOVAL, still there is no REMOVE. After dumping the devobj I get the following trace : 0: kd> !devobj 852fe9f0 Device object (852fe9f0) is for: 00000089 \Driver\VUSB DriverObject 854cc858 Current Irp 00000000 RefCount 0 Type 0000002a Flags 00003040 Dacl e2430954 DevExt 852feaa8 DevObjExt 852fec08 DevNode 85538ee8 ExtensionFlags (0x00000008) DOE_REMOVE_PROCESSED AttachedDevice (Upper) 8527b030 \Driver\USBSTOR Device queue is not busy. This tells that there are no open references as well. I am also doubtful about "DOE_REMOVE_PROCESSED". Does this mean that system thinks that it has sent me IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE ?? Any hints please?

    - OID_802_3_CURRENTADDRESS Vs OID_802_3_PERMANENTADDRESS Hi All, When NDIS calls OID_802_3_PERMANENTADDRESS ? And if it gets a valid MAC address what makes it to call a OID_802_3_CURRENTADDRESS ?? Does it mean a NIC driver can change its MAC address on the FLY... If so how can NDIS be informed about the same.... One more query, if i change the Routing table entries dynamically will this reflect in NDIS calling the Miniport adapter with OID_802_3_Currentaddress??? Can a change in the Routing table trigger a call to OIDs related to MAC address?? Thanks in advance bisban Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 99852

    - Preinstalling Driver with DIFxApp I want to install a signed USB driver with WIX 2 and DIFxApp. This works as long as the USB device is connected to the PC during installation. If no device is connected DIFxApp does not report an error and adds an entry to Add/Remove Programs. But when I connect the device Windows can't find the driver and asks for the *inf file. The log reports the following: DIFXAPP: INFO: No matching devices found in INF "foo.inf" on the Machine. DIFXAPP: INFO: No drivers installed. No devices found that match driver(s) contained in 'foo.inf'. DIFXAPP: SUCCESS:Installation completed with code 0xE000020B. So what can I do to preinstall a driver with DIFxApp?

    - KeStackAttachProcess Hello. I have written a driver routine that changes its thread context to make a quick read of RAM from another process. As the topic here suggests, it uses KeStackAttachProcess(), performs the quick read, and leaves with KeUnstackDetachProcess(). It is generally stableâ??I am not trying to read kernel RAM or anything dangerous so I donâ??t get any blue screens, but if the target process closes while my thread is over there my application deadlocks so hard it can not be closed by any means but a reboot. Is there any sure way to prevent this? I tried using CLI and STI but then I get blue screens whining about privilege levels. I use KeLowerIrql( DISPATCH_LEVEL ) but I get the same error anyway (I thought DISPATCH_LEVEL could always use CLI?). I think I could reduce the chances of this deadlock (currently at 94%â??if the target closes, my application WILL deadlock) using PsGetProcessExitProcessCalled() and then aborting if TRUE, but then I think this is only reduces the chances, not eliminates them. What if the process is closed after I call that function but before I go into it with KeStackAttachProcess()? Is there any way to get a brief lock that absolutely ensures the process cannot close while I am there? Thank you. P. S.: I call ObReferenceObjectByHandle() before going into the target process. This is supposed to raise the reference count on the process so it canâ??t fully close, which should have been preventing my problem. Am I being mislead?

    - Filter driver on 64 bit OSes Hi there, I just have finished up my filter driver writting on 32bit WinXP and Vista. The next thing I am currently doing is porting this filter driver to 64 bit OSes. I have this filter driver built with "Win XP 64 bit build Envirnoment" and it ended up these drivers neither work on XP nor Vista. From the registry, I can tell that the filter driver service has been loaded up but I can't see any my debug message print out from my driver. I have been searching on net and forums but nothing useful except this thing called "Kernel-Mode Code Signing". I start to suspect that my filter driver does not work mostly because of this so-called "code-signing policy". Does anyone can tell me am I on the right track? Many thanks in advance.

    - How to identify whether a function pointer is valid? My USB driver sends Irp to query USB_BUS_INTERFACE_USBDI_V1 from bus driver. It returns STATUS_SUCCESS and fills the structure. I use USB_BUS_INTERFACE_USBDI_V1.IsDeviceHighSpeed() to query the device running speed mode. However, the IsDeviceHighSpeed() function pointer is invalid and not NULL. The system crashes immediately after the driver call the function pointer. The USB EHCI driver is 3rd party driver. I'm not surprised. I want to know how the kernel driver to identify whether the function pointer is valid before it calls the function pointer. Or how the kernel driver handle this kind of case.

    - SAA7134 & Texas XIO PCI-e-2-PCI bridge Hello All, I have a board with PCI-e-2-PCI Bridge XIO2000 from Texas and four SAA7134 Philips codecs behind it. Windows XP SP2 sees all four devices as being connected to some PCI bus. I have developed a driver for SAA7134 Philips codec and loaded it for all four devices behind this PCI-e bridge. I tested the driver with Philips devices on conventional PCI bus - it worked in the way I expected it. Everything changed with this new board. I have tons of mysterious errors. Trying to access one device memory mapped registers I affect register settings of another device on the same bus. I miss critical interrupts with almost enormous lag. Almost everything broke. My driver is conventional WDM. It uses memory mapped registers and interrupts line. SAA7134 performs bus master scatter-gather DMA video data transfer. So, here is the question - are there any special things about developing drivers for devices, connected to PCI-e bus? With best regards, Vladimir S.

    - Accessing disabled SCSI devices via Storport I am developing the SCSI device test application. It is intended mainly for SCSI device firmware developers and testers, and allows user to execute manually any SCSI command for the selected SCSI device. During the development and testing of the firmware the device might not be able to answer properly to SCSI commands. In this case it is necessary to disable the device object in the Device Manger window. Disabling the device object prevents the class driver from sending the SCSI commands for normal functioning. The special pseudo class driver was developed for the transparent device access. This driver sends IRP_MJ_SCSI IRPs with the SRBs directly to storage adapter objects (Scsi0:, Scsi1:, etc). This worked fine with SCSI Port but does not work with Storport. As I have learned from this newsgroup the Storport does not allow sending SRBs directly to adapter object. Sending SRBs to SCSI device object works fine but when the device is disabled there is no device object at all. The SCSI PASS THROUGH interface also does not work through the Storport for the disabled SCSI device. Is there a way to send the SCSI command to the disabled SCSI device via the Storport? Thanks a lot for advice. Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 99759

That is to say, can driver let windows to know the USB device is connected on the port, but the driver won't let windows to communicate with the USB device?

    - deleting a registry ke I save some device specific information in the registry that is created with ACCESS_ALL. Sometimes it is necessary go back to default configuration, so I would like to delete the information. I am opening an handle to the key and calling ZwDeleteKey, but I get an error with the status that I can't delete it (0xC0000121). The information has a tree structure (the key itself contains sub keys) and it also contains values. Is this the reason the delete fails? I can delete the node easily enough using regedit, why can't I delete it in my driver entry? Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 99709

    - can symbolicname be used to get handle hi all, During the USB device design, a problem confused me. I want to get the handle of the USB device, and the symbolicname of this USB device in register, like following: \??\USB#Vid_xx&Pid_xx#x&xx&x&x#{xxx..} somebody told me, this symbolicname can be used in CreateFile to create the handle. After some tests (by change the symbolicname into the right form), I can use the "new" symbolicname in createfile, and the return handle is VALID_HANDLE. I want to know, is this symbolicname the right parameter in CreateFile? And the handle is which handle? Can this handle be used to communicate with the USB device? If it can, how?

    - how many sys file i need? Hi all: My device has to support xp32,xp64,vista32,vista64,so generally the solutions is to have 4 sys files for each OS: xp32.sys,xp64.sys,vista32.sys,vista64.sys(built with corresponding build enviornments) My question is: can i reduce my sys file numbers? for example,use vista x86 build enviornment,and this vista32.sys supports both xp32 & vista32. Is this possible?How to do? Or just one sys file to support all the OS,possible?? Thanks in advance. Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 99703

    - How many packets in a PNET_BUFFER_LIST Is there a way of telling how many actaul packets there are in a NET_BUFFER_LIST? Is there a packet (e.g. IP-packet, ARP request etc.) for every NET_BUFFER or can a packet be divided on several NET_BUFFERS in the NET_BUFFER_LIST?

    - Bootloader execution halts for DaVinci Board DM6446 with 64mb memo Hi, I am working on DaVinci Board DM6446. I have written a small utility program which loads my UBL in the SRAM and then loads the Bootloader in the memory on the address depending on the settings of .bib file and imagecnf.inc file while executing the Bootloader i.e. during the step of downloading the NK.bin file it stucks when it reaches to loading the record where actually the executables of bin are since the size is maximum in it. Also I am using a SDRAM of 64 mb only in the board. The log that I am getting is: (there are certain tracing statements that have been included by me): BOOTME BOOTME BOOTME BOOTMEMAC addr is 0:e:99:2:51:c7.

    - How user wait for kernel? Hello, I am a new comer. I have a question: My user application need to wait for kernel interrupt and than do something. I think I will pass the request to kernel throught IOCTL call and wait for return. My kernel IOCTL function call KeWaitForSingleObject When interrupt happen, in ISR DPC, I will call KeSetEvent than my IOCTL function will return to user. Is this a good way to implement this? If not, what is the best way? Thanks, Xinshou Tag: Setting a no reboot flag in INF Tag: 99696

Is there a statement I can add to a INF file, supported across all OSs, that
sets a flag to not prompt the user for a reboot and to not reboot the system
under any circumstance?

Thanks!

What, exactly, do you mean by "across all OSs"? Win95 liked to reboot. A
lot.

In general, the answer is no. There are several conditions that cause a
reboot, and you just have to make sure you don't meet any of them Don't
create any RunOnce keys in the registry (except for rundll32). Make sure
your driver has an unload handler.
