    - need traceview or equivalent tool I have traceview 2.0.15 from WINDDK (3790.1830). But it won't work at all with message "cannot find pdb file" when I try to add a provider through "PDB File" option. I learned from this group that the traceview 1.9 and 1.9.1 actually work. Can someone point me to a site so that I can download the same/equivalent tool that works? Thanks a lot. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86883

    - Regarding COM in the kernel Hi, Is there some kind of light weight framework for COM programming in the kernel ? I know some KS samples rely on the CUnknown class defined in <stdunk.h> (in the /inc/ddk/xxx directory) but after a quick look at the implementation in "stdunk.cpp" (in /src/wdm/audio/stdunk), I noticed quite a few oddities (dynamic_cast<>, cascaded casts, ...) I am sure it works but ... well I also noticed a CBaseUnknown in <kcom.h> with implementation of INonDelegatedUnknown and IIndirectedUnknown. What is the purpose of the later ? Is the class useful for a miniport ? What is the prefered method ? Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86879

    - Geometric wide lines I have a problem developing printer driver with geometric wide lines support. After I set GCAPS_GEOMETRICWIDE flag in flGraphicsCaps field of DEVINFO structure, the GDI starts calling DrvStrokePath function of my driver for wide lines as expected. But when I enumerate paths from PATHOBJ, I see that they constitute outlines of wide lines and not original wide line curves which I need. Can anyone tell me if I can get original wide line curves and not their GDI realization? Essentiually, it means that if a graphic printing application uses code such as this to draw a wide line: hpen = ExtCreatePen (PS_GEOMETRIC | PS_SOLID | PS_ENDCAP_ROUND | PS_JOIN_BEVEL, 20, &penBrush, 0, NULL); SelectObject (hdc, hpen); MoveToEx(hdc,100,50,NULL); LineTo(hdc,100,300); how I can get original line coordinates (100,50), (100,300)? I found that I can get line width, cap and join from LINEATTRS structure but not the original coordinates. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86877

    - MaximumTransferSize limit for bulk on EHCI in Vista RC2 (5744)? I have an USB2.0 device that communicates pieces of data as large bulk transfers (1-2 MB). On XP I can receive them correctly. As the doc says, MaximumTransferSize seems practically unlimited. On Vista RC2 (5744), USBD_CreateConfigurationRequestEx comes back with MaximumTransferSize set to 0x400000 (no matter what I put there before). This is too small for my bulk transfer (though the doc doesn't know anything about such a limit on Vista). Any way to override this limit? Any way to split up the transfer without modifying the device's firmware? I'm not that fluent with the dirty details of USB bulk transfer so I'm not sure what kind of concepts would apply here?!

    - Iocalldriver never returns I am having a stringe problem for my Windows 2000 Usb driver. When i am reading data from the usb device, sometimes the Iocalldriver never sets the event i am waiting for. Notice that this only happens sometimes, and only on one specific computer. Windows XP on that computer does not have this issue. The code is: --START CODE-- UsbBuildInterruptOrBulkTransferRequest( &current->dUrb, sizeof(_URB_BULK_OR_INTERRUPT_TRANSFER), pdx->myPipe, &buffer->data, NULL, pdx->bufferChunkSize, USBD_TRANSFER_DIRECTION_IN | USBD_SHORT_TRANSFER_OK, NULL ); KeInitializeEvent(&current->dEvent, NotificationEvent, FALSE); current->dIrp = IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest( IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_URB, pdx->LowerDeviceObject, NULL, 0, InputBufferLength NULL, OutputBuffer 0, OutputBufferLength TRUE, InternalDeviceIoControl &current->dEvent, &current->dIostatus ); if (!current->dIrp) { KdPrint((DRIVERNAME " - IN Pollingthread: Unable to allocate IRP for sending URB\n")); goto endThread; } stack = IoGetNextIrpStackLocation(current->dIrp); stack->Parameters.Others.Argument1 = (PVOID) (PURB) &current->dUrb; status = IoCallDriver(pdx->LowerDeviceObject, current->dIrp); if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)) { KdPrint((DRIVERNAME " - IN Pollingthread: IoCallDriver 1 failed with error code: %8.8X\n",status)); InterlockedExchange(&pdx->error, status); KeSetEvent(&pdx->errorEvent, 0, FALSE); goto endThread; } if(status != STATUS_PENDING) { KdPrint((DRIVERNAME " - IN Pollingthread: IoCallDriver did not return STATUS_PENDING, instead it returned: %8.8X\n",status)); goto endThread; } status = KeWaitForMultipleObjects( 2, current->dCompleteEvents, WaitAny, Executive, KernelMode, WaitMode FALSE, NULL, NULL ); --END CODE-- So, sometimes the KeWaitForMultipleObjects does not get released until i manually unplugg the device and the error event is set. Can anyone see anything in the code that might cause this to work sometimes and sometimes not? Regards Wilhelm Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86866

    - NDIS5.1 driver in Vista Hi All, I am using my NDIS 5.1 miniport driver written for WinXP prof in Vista Build 5600 (Vista RC1). The driver is running fine for it supports the backward compatibility, but I am unable to get the handle for my network device for the driver I have. I am trying to get the handle using the IoGetDeviceObjectPointer() function from another driver, But it always returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. What could be the reason for such behaviour? The same setup ( NDIS miniport driver and the other driver from which i am trying to get the NDIS handle ) works fine. Looking forward for your response.....

    - IRP_MN_WAIT_WAKE concurrency The description of IRP_MN_WAIT_WAKE in the DDK says that it shouldn't be sent while any set-power or query-power IRP is active in the device stack. How is this usually done? A queue? Are all set-power and query-power IRPs, along with IRP_MN_WAIT_WAKE, supposed to be queued to be handled one at a time by a worker thread? (handling the specific device power IRP associated with the current system IRP immediately, of course, or there would be deadlock) I didn't get this impression from other parts of the documentation or from a glance at the "pcidrv" sample, but a queue is the only way I can think to do this (since a power IRP handler can't block waiting on any sort of lock). I thought I saw "pcidrv" doing this bare in a state-changing PnP handler, but if state-changing PnP IRPs were really mutually exclusive with power IRPs then the documentation shouldn't say to hold a remove lock while handling a power IRP (since there would be no need for a remove lock during a power IRP if a remove couldn't even happen during a power IRP).

    - Wait/wake technicality There's a part of the DDK docs that says that "The IoCompletion routine should perform whatever tasks the driver requires to return the device to the working state." (referring to the IoCompletion set for a wait/wake IRP in "Handling a Wait/Wake IRP in a Function (FDO) or Filter Driver (Filter DO)") Shouldn't this technically only be the case for the power policy owner? Don't the other drivers in a stack just pass the wait/wake IRP back up and only return to the working state when a subsequent set-power IRP is received from the power policy owner?

    - how to terminate an IRP Create operation correctly? I'm trying to prevent a certain file to be written anywhere in the filesystem. As far I understand, one can do that by terminating IRP Create (SpyCreate) when the file in question has been found with the following code: Irp->IoStatus.Information = 0; Irp->IoStatus.Status = STATUS_SUCCESS; IoCompleteRequest( Irp, IO_NO_INCREMENT ); return STATUS_SUCCESS; That code works fine when terminating eg IRP Writes but causes a BSOD when used in Create. Any suggestion how to terminate an IRP Create operation correctly? Your advice would be very much appreciated. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86813

    - How can I register multiple Coms via a virtual serial port driver? Hi friends, I have written a virtual serial port driver using a pair of bulk endpoint of USB. It can register a virtual COM symbol such as "COM3" in my computer. The driver function well using WIN32 applications. Now I have requirement to emulate 3 COMS at the same time in host computer via this pair of bulk endpoint. Questtions: 1.First I have to find a feasible way to register 3 COM symbol, they are symbolic link to FDO, how can I register them at the same time? 2.Only one PDO(physical device object) is created by lower USB driver , then I have to register 3 FDOS(functional device object) , fatal error occured when I attach them to PDO using IoAttachDeviceToDeviceStack(), How can I deal with it? 3. Is there any sophisticated virtual driver sample for my requirement? Waiting for expert's comments. All your comments are welcome.

    - PCI express payload mystery We have got our WDF driver up and running with an 8 lane PCI express card. It uses hardware DMA scatter gather and appears to be working well. However we are only getting about 50% of the theoretical bandwidth over 8 lanes (1GB/s instead of 2GB/s). Unfortunately we need to hit around 60%. The 50% doesn't include driver overhead and is measured by the hardware during the transfer. One of the main factors that can affect PCI express efficiency is the payload size. From what I have read the maximum payload is 4k which is supposed to give near to 100%. For 128 byte payloads with an estimated application overhead it's around 55%, and for 64 bytes it is around 40%. On our AMD platform as we are not measuring the overhead, it is feasible that we're getting 64 byte payloads (our card supports 4k). A few things we have noticed so far: ATI X1900 XT has a maximum payload size of 128 (according to SiSoft tool) Intel 965 chipset has a maximum payload size of 128 (according to the data sheet). Here are a couple of questions I hope someone can shed some light on: 1) On an AMD system PCI express is interfaced by HyperTransport which is packet based, and has a maximum payload size of 64 bytes. Does this mean its PCI express interface is also limited to 64 byte payloads? 2) Does anyone know of a motherboard chipset that supports large payloads (4k)? Apologies if this is slightly off topic, but I guessed it is something that will affect anyone writing a PCI express driver. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86785

But, Smart Card Subsystem is not recognizing my reader, that means he is not adding my registry details to (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\calais\Reader) . I have a GEMPLUS Serial reader hardware and .sys file, which is installing and passing driver details to above registry with my inf file (with their device and vender ID).

    - virtual disk driver - write a volume header I am writing a virtual disk driver which uses a file as a virtual disk. The disk file can be mounted with a drive letter and normally used. Internally, ZwReadFile and ZwWriteFile in the dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_READ and _WRITE do the job to write on and read from "disk". As far, everything works fine. Now, I would like to write a volume header sector at the beginning of the disk file. This volume header sector should not be formatted by e.g. the windows format command. It should be ignored by any write operation on the disk file. I think I have to modify the StartingOffset in the VERIFY_INFORMATION when IOCTL_DISK_VERIFY comes down and shift as well the offest of IRP_MJ_WRITE to save this special sector for overwriting? Until now, e.g. the windows format begins at StartingOffset 0 and thus, overwrites my volume header sector which was previously written when the disk file was created. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. More info can be provided if applied. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86775

    - WDF Class Filter Driver Installation Hi, I was wondering if anyone had experience installing a CLASS filter driver on an already existing setup class. I have found limited resources on the subject (at least for a class filter driver), and I haven't found anything on msdn on how to install a class filter driver with WDF. Their link points to here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/devinst_d/hh/DevInst_d/specinst_708d78ad-ba66-40a0-946a-a0bb261e8a8a.xml.asp which directs you to use an app to do the following: 1. Call SetupInstallFilesFromInfSection for the [upperfilter_inst] section. 2. Call SetupInstallServicesFromInfSection for the [upperfilter_inst.Services] section. 3. Call SetupInstallFromInfSection for the [upperfilter_inst] section, once for each class key it wants to register the upperfilt service for. However, I think WDF is a different beast as it requires the wdfcoinstaller to install the runtime. So I am not sure if this method is what I should do (and besides it didn't work). So, I found from osronline that with wdf we are supposed to use WdfPreDeviceInstall and WdfPostDeviceInstall. How do these fit in with a class filter driver? >From what I understand, I can use those functions along with CreateService to install my filter driver's service, but what about registration? As far as I know step 3 in the older documentation says to use SetupInstallFromInfSection to register the class filter driver. Does that only add the "UpperFilters" value to the class key in the registry? Does it do anything else? When I tried to use it I didn't see any entry appear Any help on how to install a class filter driver using the WDF/KMDF would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Is there anyway i can get this to be on top of every window all the time? like the taskbar? and that i can move it around? if this is not possible it shuld be made as a windows addon or be included in a update or somthing. (just a tip) It would be cinda handy. Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86731

I called SdBusSubmitRequest(x,x) to send command 9( Send_CSD), but it failed. sample code like this: const SDCMD_DESCRIPTOR SendCsdDesc = {SD_CMD_SEND_CSD, SDCC_STANDARD, SDTD_WRITE, SDTT_CMD_ONLY, SDRT_2}; SDBUS_REQUEST_PACKET sdrp; fdoData = MarsFdoGetData(Device); RtlZeroMemory(&sdrp, sizeof(SDBUS_REQUEST_PACKET)); sdrp.RequestFunction = SDRF_DEVICE_COMMAND; sdrp.Parameters.DeviceCommand.CmdDesc = SendCsdDesc; sdrp.Parameters.DeviceCommand.Argument = 0; status = SdBusSubmitRequest(fdoData->BusInterface.Context, &sdrp); if (!NT_SUCCESS(status)) return status; what should I do? need to rewrite a sdbus driver for myself?

    - DrvStartDoc() is called 2 times from MS-Word printing Hi, I have a printer driver that works in Windows-XP and 2000 platform. I am trying to give a print job from Ms-word, by specifying multiple copies from PrintDlgBox. But this causes the DrvStartDoc() to get called twice. And the desired copies(recently entered in PrintDlgBox) is reflected in the second call to DrvStartDoc(). This happens only in MS.word, not in anyother application. Can anyone please tell me why this problem occurs? Thanks In advance Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86719

    - PoStartNextPowerIrp special case I'm curious about something in "Calling PoStartNextPowerIrp" in the DDK docs. In most cases PoStartNextPowerIrp is supposed to be called just before the power IRP is passed back up or completed, except in the case of filter drivers for system power IRPs where PoStartNextPowerIrp is apparently supposed to be called before passing the power IRP down. What makes that case different? (from filters and device power IRPs or non-filters and either type of power IRP) Tag: need traceview or equivalent tool Tag: 86712

    - KMDF Class Filter Drive INITSTARTFAILED Hi, I'm working on a class filter driver but to start I have installed the filter as a device upper filter on a device of the class that I am to filter on (both have services installed at boot time). It works fine as a device upper filter with the exception that in the registry key I have noticed that it sets INITSTARTFAILED to 1 for the enum key of the service (i.e. .../System/CurrentControlSet/Service/myService/Enum). However the count is 1 as is the nextInstance. I thought that if the service truly did fail that the count would be zero? The filter driver installed correctly as it does what it is supposed to do. Furthermore, setting a breakpoint on my driver entry results in the behavior expected (registers my device add and everything). It works as far as I can tell except for the INITSTARTFAILED that is set. I have deleted the key and the next time I boot it is back again. I think this may be a problem because when I try and have the filter be a class filter driver, I get an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (7b) I just want to make sure this INITSTARTFAILED doesnt' have anything to do with this... In order to make the filter a class filter I have added to the key corresponding to the class guid in currentcontrolset/control/classs with UpperFilters myFilt. I have also tried putting in a CoInstallers32 wdfcoinstaller01005.dll,WdfCoInstaller since when I installed the filter as a device filter it put those values in the device instance key (am I missing something else?) So I guess I really have two questions 1. Anyone know why INITSTARTFAILED would be set to 1, but yet load the service and it function properly? 2. Anyone know if for a CLASS filter driver if there are any other values I have to set besides the UpperFilters in the registry key for the class? Thanks in advance!

I have traceview 2.0.15 from WINDDK (3790.1830). But it won't work at
all with message "cannot find pdb file" when I try to add a provider
through "PDB File" option. I learned from this group that the
traceview 1.9 and 1.9.1 actually work. Can someone point me to a site
so that I can download the same/equivalent tool that works? Thanks a
lot.

Download the latest WDK. You have to join the beta program for that.

Another option is to use the tracepdb, tracefmt, etc utilities to get trace
messages. These utilities are far more robust that the crappy traceview.exe.
Take a look at the toaster.htm file. It describes how to use tracepdb.
