    - Obtaining Driver handle in Vista using CreateFile() Folks, I am having trouble obtaining a handle to a WDF driver using CreateFile(DosDeviceName, other parameters) in Vista. My driver is a software only driver and with some help from Chkinf was able to muck around with my inf file to get the driver successfully install (I make this statement based on the fact that the setupact.log in the windows folder doesn't have any errors related to this particular driver listed and there are no bangs or questions marks next to my driver in Device Manager). Initially the chkinf complained about not recognizing the GUID and I had to use the class Name 'System' and the associated GUID to make chkinf happy and eventually Vista happy. Therefore my driver ended up under the 'System Devices' tree. Now when I try to open a handle to this driver using the Symbolic link name I am failing. Before this my driver was under the class name 'Test Tools' with some other GUID and WinXP 32 and 64 bit didn't have any problems with it. Has anyone seen this before and point me towards the solution. Thanks! Ram Driver Developer Tag: network redirector Tag: 85142

    - HID in a composite device configuration Should HID polling by IN command be blocked by MSC polling IN command more than 10 seconds if these 2 devices are in a composite device configuration? What could we be doing that would irritate Windows in such a way that it would be causing this to hang? We are currently compliant with HID v. 1.0 Draft #4 Compliance http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/hid4.mspx. Our implementation of this compliance uses endpoint 2 which we also use for the IN command instead of end point zero. Tag: network redirector Tag: 85138

    - problem code 31 when I install NDIS 6 I transfer NDIS 5 to NDIS 6 of miniport driver for my company NIC. I met a problem when I install NDIS driver in Vista. The message showed in device manager is "Window was able to sucessfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 31" I dump the message in WinDbg and found NDIS didn't call Driver InitializeHandlerEx. I checked the status form NdisMRegisterMiniportDriver was sucess. I don't know why NDIS didn't call InitializeHandlerEx. My Vista version is beta #2, Build 5472 Tag: network redirector Tag: 85133

    - Protocol driver under Windows Vista RC1 Hello, I'm actually testing an application under windows vista RC1. This application uses a protocol driver bound to all ethernet adapters. One of the the application job is to analyse packets coming from ethernet adapters. To do this, i set the adapter filter options ( OID_GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER) to: NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_DIRECTED + NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_BROADCAST+ NDIS_PACKET_TYPE_ALL_LOCAL . This works well under Windows XP, then i tested under Windows Vista Beta 2, it was fine too. But the tests under the last windows vista failed : i canot receive paquets from the local adapters , only the paquets from other computers are received by the application ( and so by the protocol driver). Are there some specification changes in this new version ? Thanks in advance, Jose Tag: network redirector Tag: 85130

    - Command 53 for SDIO Wi-Fi card Hi, I am currently working on writing a SDIO Wi-fi device driver on WinE 5.0. When I send CMD53 to the card I always get a Write CRC error. What might be the issue? There are a lot of CMD52 before this CMD53 which run successfully but once CMD53 is sent to the card I get an error. One more thing, when I send CMD53 how will the data be written to the SDIO card? How does the Bus Driver send us the data to be written in this case? Also the specs say that the data from the Dat[x] lines will be written to the card in this case. But who will put the data on the DAT[x] lines for the card? Also the spec says that the data from the DAT[x] lines will be written to the card. Who will put this data on the DAT[x] lines for the card in this case?

    - kbfiltr question How do I get the DeviceID (which keyboard) from inside the kbfiltr driver? I am connecting multiple keyboard devices (USB barcode scanners), and installing a kbfiltr driver to intercept the input, which works great. Now I want to be able to tell which keyboard each keystroke is coming from. I get a UnitID from InputDataStart but this number changes every time I plug and unplug the usb keyboard (this number also resets on reboot). I need something more like the InstanceID that is unique for identical devices (same make/model device) and does not change when you plug and unplug it. NOTE: I understand the Instance ID changes if you plug the keyboard into a different USB port, I am not worried about this case, but plugging and unplugging from the SAME port does not change the InstanceID. I am an experienced c# programmer, but am very new to C and device drivers. I have read through ~90% of the DDK, but am still unsure how to move forward. Any help would be appreciated. -Steven (Louis) Tag: network redirector Tag: 85106

    - Logical bug in NTFS - modification date is not set when stream is deleted It seems that somehow the interest in NTFS related questions is low. But I have further observations that I would like to share with you. In NTFS every file can have streams. Lets take the stream "\005SummaryInformation" which is used to save the Summary Information visible in the properties of a file. If you add this stream by entering a comment in the properties the modification date of the file changes. Every further modification to the summary stream will change the modification date too. But if you simply delete the associated stream with DeleteFile the modification date is not changed to reflect this operation: DeleteFileW(L"c:\\file.txt:\005SummaryInformation"); This is a logical NTFS bug for me.

    - How to dynamically load a filter driver? I've written a filter driver for disk volumes. However, to enable it towork, I have to reboot the system. Is there any way to load the driver without rebooting? And I am using AddDevice routine. I first dried to install the driver, it is OK. Then I added it to one volume's device key as UpperFilters. When restarting the volume device, I found that the DriverEntry routine is called and executed successfully. But after leaving DriverEntry routine, there is something wrong and Unload routine is executed. At last, the drive did not get loaded. However, if I reboot the system just after installing the driver, all is OK. What's the difference between starting by system at boot time and starting by IO manager at run time? I'm quite puzzled.

    - Installing a lower filter driver Hello, I am wondering if there is an easy way to install a lower filter driver. I would like to implement the functionality myself. I looked through the source code of DevCon in the windows DDK, but I was a bit confused about the concept of MSG's that the code uses. I would like to be able to install the Lower Filter driver as well as delete it. Also, I am wondering if using a .inf file is required? Someone mentioned to me that it is required so that the OS knows where to hook it up in the device stack. I have the binary, and I would prefer not to use the inf, but if I have no choice, than i guess it's okay. A while back, I had to install an upper filter driver, and that was relatively easy. I just used the service control manager and called OpenService, CreateService etc. Is there something similar to this? Thank you in advance for your help. Tag: network redirector Tag: 85085

    - XP x64 deadlock issue with KiInterruptDispatch This issue is probably related to a prior microsoft.public.development.device.drivers post "64-bit system hang in KiInterruptDispatch", and it looks to be fixed in Windows Vista x64 (tested with RC1). I would like to know where I can find the hotfix for my customers. Thank you! The issue: On Windows XP for 32-bit x86 (halmacpi,ntkrnlmp), KiInterruptDispatch raises the IRQL to "SynchronizeIrql" (from IoConnectInterrupt) before acquiring the SpinLock (ActualLock) and calling the ServiceRoutine. However on Windows XP x64, KiInterruptDispatch seems to be raising IRQL to "Irql" instead of "SynchronizeIrql" (from IoConnectInterrupt). Why is this a problem? Let us imagine that I have a device (AT-DIO-32F) with multiple interrupts assigned, "X" and "Y". Lucky us, interrupt "X" is not used by any other devices in the system and is assigned IRQL 5. Interrupt "Y", however, _is_ shared with other devices in the system and is assigned IRQL 10. I create 1 spinlock to protect access to device registers and variables from within the interrupt service routine for this device. Next a call is made to IoConnectInterrupt() for each assigned interrupt, where the SynchronizeIrql is set to 10 and the same ServiceRoutine and SpinLock are used for both calls. The problematic scenario: Interrupt "X" fires. KiInterruptDispatch on raises IRQL to 5 (not 10) and grabs the shared spinlock. During the ServiceRoutine, interrupt "Y" fires. Because "Y" is at IRQL 10, and the current IRQL is 5, it preempts the current execution. Because "Y" is a shared interrupt, KiChainedDispatch is called. KiChainedDispatch walks the list of _KINTERRUPT objects at IRQL "Irql", raises the IRQL to "SynchronizeIrql" temporarily if it is higher than the current IRQL, grabs their SpinLock, and calls their ServiceRoutines. When it encounters the SpinLock (ActualLock) for my device, there is a problem because this CPU is already holding the spinlock at the lower IRQL, so the system hangs. Stack: nt!KiScanInterruptObjectList+0x72 (trying to grab my spinlock, again) nt!KiChainedDispatch+0xd7 MyDriver!MyServiceRoutine+MyOffset nt!KiInterruptDispatch+0x138 (holding my spinlock at Irql, not SynchronizeIrql) On Windows XP x86, things have run great for years. Also, Vista x86 and x64 (RC1) both seem to operate fine, though my testing there hasn't been comprehensive -- just a quick test followed by some WinDBG disassembly to confirm that it is fixed. I have not evaluated Server 2003. I hope that saves the rest of you a man day or two. -- Jeremiah National Instruments -- http://www.ni.com "stack smasher" djajadi tribute.

I remember seeing a KB article about a crash in Win2k that occures if you open too many handles to a driver. (Anyone got a source on that?) I have a project currently being tested on Win03 that causes some strange crashes. When running with five open handles it works just fine. If I bump that up to 10, the entire system goes unstable.

The data is written from appln to driver continuously and then DMA is done and the same data is read back in the application. Could you pls suggest which is best way for interaction and synchronisation betn appln and driver. Presently I am trying with shared mem using zwcreatesection and createfilemapping of 8kb. Can i also use IOCTLs or other routines. And how do i synchronise as appln should wait writing, till driver does dma to read and write to the core, and then appln read should happen, then again write and so on.

    - Debugging NWF In Vista I'm running into a problem with my NWF driver under Vista RC1 (build 5600). This driver is for an 11n chipset and I see the following happen when the driver associates with an 11n AP: 1. The STA associates and gets an IP address. 2. If I start a ping to the gateway, the STA sends out an ARP request and the gateway sends back an ARP response. The driver then indicates the ARP response to NDIS, but the NBF is rejected for some reason. I don't see this behavior when the STA associates with an 802.11 b/g AP. I'm trying to install the checked build of 5600, but that's not going smoothly. All the same, is there any way to enable debug trace options in the NWF system so that I can get feedback on what may be happening? Also, has anyone else seen this kind of problem before? Thanks!

    - Proper notification/handling of KS format changes. Greetings, I have discovered a dangling pointer bug in my USB camera's UM proxy filter aggregated com object which has now raised in my mind a design question. The aggregated COM object (I'll call it the extension) provides an interface for setting various custom camera parameters to the associated Stream Class driver I have written. This interface is used by all property pages I provide for the camera and also by some custom applications we produce. Many of the parameters can change the format of the image stream. In order to be as friendly as possible, I have attempted to have the extension rebuild the filter graph when any of the format changing parameters is modified. The thinking here was that the extension, as the central object that sends IOCtrls to the KM driver, is in the best position to know which of the many parameters actually impact the image format and thus can reduce the number of times the graph needs to be rebuilt (and also reduce the amount of knowledge the caller must possess). The implementation was to derive my extension from IDistributorNotify in addition to my custom interface. In theory, this will let the extension know (via the NotifyGraphChange method) when the associated filter is added/removed from a graph, has its pins connected/unconnected, and when any other change to the graph happens. Thus in my NotifyGraphChange method, I call m_baseFilter->QueryFilterInfo(&fInf) on the camera's proxy filter and save the fInf.pGraph pointer (if it exists). Then when any relevant parameter is changed, say the X Dimension of the image, I can get the IGraphConfig from the graph and do a Reconnect. I am using the rather brute force method of Reconnect as it is my general understanding (and experience) that renegotiating a format after the initial pin connection is either not supported or completely broken depending on whether you are a Stream Class/AVStream driver and perhaps upon the Windows version. The trouble with this implementation seems to be that while NotifyGraphChange gets called in many of the listed instances, it does not get called when the filter is removed from the graph. Thus depending on the specifics of the graph manipulation, I sometimes end up with a call through an invalid m_graph pointer to Nowheresville with predictable results. While I am sure I can tiptoe around this issue by being a bit more clever (and correct for that matter) in my NotifyGraphChange analysis (for example I have observed that it is always called correctly on pin connect/disconnect and thus I could force my m_graph parameter to NULL then) I am wondering if I am really going about this in the right way. Perhaps the trouble is an abuse of IDistributorNotify. It occurred to me for example that there may be some completely different interface I have not stumbled across yet that sorts this. Or perhaps there is something that could be used from kernel mode that would be more robust (I thought there might be some standard EVENT that would do the trick for example). Is there a preferred technique for notifying a filter graph that the format has changed and the graph must be rebuilt? Or am I already on the right track?

    - srbExtension and PTE depletion Hi All, I'm chasing a driver bug and though you might be able to help me out. I have an LSI SCSI driver which allocates enough memory in the srbExtension to fit a whole filesystem cluster. With WinXPSP2 (SP1 doesn't do this), if I drag a folder with many (100,000) 128KB files onto a volume managed by this driver, the kernel loses Page Table Entries as the copy progresses. I can track this loss in perfmon by watching the Memory->Free System Page Table Entries counter. Lost PTEs are never recovered, and when the kernel gets down to about 4000, it's game over, and the OS throws an "Insufficient Resources Exist to Complete the Requested Service" dialog. I have a similar Adaptec driver which only allocates 4 bytes in the srbExtension, and it does not trigger PTE loss. Large NTFS cluster sizes exacerbate the behavior. I recently tested a Core 2 Duo laptop, and its internal SATA driver, as well as an eSATA ExpressCard both exhibit this behaviour, so it appears that drivers provoking this bug are becoming more widespread. Has anyone developing SCSI drivers seen this issue, or has anyone at MS filed a bug? If so, when can I hope for a fix? Thanks, David Tag: network redirector Tag: 84953

    - PNP stop/remove and the current IRP When a device is either stopped or removed, shouldn't the current IRP for which there was I/O in progress be completed before finishing the stop/remove PNP request? When I look at the WDM book examples, I see the device's IRP queue being either stalled or aborted, but I'm unsure about the way the I/O in progress is handled. Both stop and remove look like they either wait for the current I/O to finish or cause the device hardware to abort it, but shouldn't they also complete the IRP associated with that I/O?

If DNE is run on the PC, the third buffer has the correct length of 108. Any ideas on this? Tag: network redirector Tag: 84939

    - microsoft CCID & extended APDU I am currently writing firmware for a smartcard reader that should conform to the CCID USB protocol. The idea is that it should work with the Microsoft generic CCID driver usbccid.sys. Everything work as it should when sending & receiving short APDU's (256 bytes + 10 bytes CCID header). Sending extended APDUs to the reader (pc_to_rdr_xfr block) also works with sizes up to 0xffff (as specified in ISO7816). However when attempting to receive extended APDUs from the reader I get the following error: TransferFlags OUT, SHORT_TRANSFER_OK TransferBufferLength 269 bytes status: URB Status USBD_STATUS_BUFFER_OVERRUN TransferFlags IN, SHORT_TRANSFER_OK TransferBufferLength 256 bytes As far as I can see the driver doesn't allocate enough size in the receive buffer and the reader attempts to send more data than 256. Does anyone know the status of the Microsoft CCID driver and / or what can be done in order to use the extended APDU's in rdr_to_pc_xfr blocks ? The current CCID descriptor that we are using and the card ATR is as follows: static CCID_Desc CCID_desc[1] = { 0x36, 0x21, // Length, Type=CCID 0x01, 0x10, // CCID spec release number 0, // Max slot index 0x01, // 3V, 5V supported 0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // dwProtocols = T=1 0xa0, 0x0f, 0x00, 0x00, // default clock frequency = 4000 kHz 0x4c, 0x1d, 0x00, 0x00, // max clock frequency = 7500 kHz 0x00, // no manual clock selection 0x01, 0x2a, 0x00, 0x00, // default data rate = 10.75 kbps 0x10, 0xb1, 0x03, 0x00, // max data rate = 241.9 kbps 0x00, // no manual speed setting 0xfe, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // max IFSD 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // dwSynchProtocols, not supported 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, // dwMechanical, no special characteristics 0xba, 0x00, 0x04, 0x00, // dwFeautures - APDU level, automatic TA & freq settings 9a, 0x12, // dwMaxCCIDMessageLength 0x00, // 0x01, // 0x00, // 0x00, 0x00, // bClassGetResponse, bClassEnvelope 0x00, 0x00, // wLcdLayout = no LCD 0x00, // bPinSupport = No PIN 0x01, // bMaxCCIDBusySlots = 1 }; Card ATR uchar fakeATR[] = { 0x3b, // TS 0xb5, // T0 0x11, // TA1 0x00, // TB1 0x81, // TD1 0x31, // TD2 0x46, // TA3 0x15, // TB3 0x56, 0x20, 0x31, 0x2e, 0x30, //T1-T5 = "V 1.0" 0x1e}; // TCK Tag: network redirector Tag: 84925

    - How to send URB and IRP to user mode application? Hello All I am trying to capture URB for USB devices, I have written some code for that, Now my goal is to transfer all those URB's to user mode application for further processing, I am not getting how to send URB's and IRP's to user mode application, Could anyone tell me how to send URB to user mode application, user mode application would access this data for further processing. It would be great if some one explains me using some code. -AJay Tag: network redirector Tag: 84917

    - Stall flag vs. remove lock I've been looking at the WDM book queueing example and it seems there are two similar methods for making sure driver activity has ceased before removing a device: stallcount/WaitForCurrentIrp() and: IoAcquireRemoveLock()/IoReleaseRemoveLock()/IoReleaseRemoveLockAndWait() The idea behind the first method is to prevent any new device I/O from being initiated and wait for the current I/O to finish. The idea behind the second method is to prevent any new IRPs from being forwarded to a lower driver and wait for the current IRPs forwarded to a lower driver to complete (so that the driver can't finish the next IRP_MN_REMOVE_DEVICE it might receive until those IRPs are completed). The ideas are very similar. They both center around whether some operation is in progress, whether the device is "busy". It seems like with some code changes, a single method would work, one that simply controls whether the device is currently busy and/or in the process of removal and can wait until the device is no longer busy.

    - __readmsr and __writemsr usage HI, Has anyone used "__readmsr and __writemsr" while writing device drivers for windows. These are intrinsic functions in VC++. Not sure how to use it to read MSR values. A sample code demonstrating these command will be helpful. When I try to use them I get a bunch of Linking errors.

    - [KMDF USB] My DeviceAdd is being called twice for one device! Yeah, it's me again. This time, I have a composite device here that is configured like the below. Interface 0: - bulk IN endpoint - bulk OUT endpoint - interrupt IN endpoint Interface 1: - bulk IN endpoint - bulk OUT endpoint I load the generic parent driver (usbhub, I'm on Win2k) for this device which then enumerates two child devices. So far, so good. I am using the same function driver binary for both interfaces (PDOs) -- although it is set up with a different service name and different binary name in the other INF file. If the interrupt endpoint is not seen, the driver just removes some functionality on the fly. If it matters, the first interface is "modem" class and the second is "ports" class. I call WdfDeviceCreateDeviceInterface conditionally, either passing GUID_DEVINTERFACE_MODEM or GUID_DEVINTERFACE_COMPORT. I can load my function driver successfully on the first interface without any trouble. When it loads on the second, I am getting *two* calls into my AddDevice routine, and *two* calls into my PrepareHardware. Inside PrepareHardware, I can see that the two WDFDEVICE handles that I'm given are different (say, 0x7CAD0FF8 versus 0x7CA97FF8). Naturally, when I go to call WdfUsbTargetDeviceCreate() inside PrepareHardware, the second call fails out. I can't even fathom a guess as to why this happens. Any ideas?

    - Query remove and usage concurrence In the example from the WDM book, IRP_MN_QUERY_REMOVE_DEVICE and IRP_MN_QUERY_STOP_DEVICE determine whether it's okay to remove/stop the device by checking some counters (hibernation, paging, dump) that are incremented/decremented in IRP_MN_DEVICE_USAGE_NOTIFICATION to indicate the types of things the device is used for, but it doesn't look like there's any guard to prevent the counters from being incremented during or after a remove is in progress. Isn't IRP_MN_DEVICE_USAGE_NOTIFICATION one of the PNP IRPs that could happen concurrently with the other PNP IRPs and cause one of these usage counters to successfully increment even after it's been determined the device can be removed?

    - WIA Microdriver Default Paper Source I'm writing a WIA microdriver and I would like the default paper source to be the document feeder, rather than the flatbed. I'm kind of hoping that, as there is for the supported resolutions, there might be an INF entry that I could set that would make the default paper source be the ADF. Does anyone know if such an INF entry (or anything else that would accomplish this goal) exists? Tag: network redirector Tag: 84885

    - Develop Filter drivers to hide files Hello, I am trying to learn about the magic of file system drivers and I thought that an interesting project would be to develop a filter driver that would hide specific files. I am guessing that it would be something as simple as ignoring some requests to seek some files. would anyone be willing to post some resources that could lead me on my way? I checked through the Windows DDK and was unable to locate anything that would be of interested. Thank you for your time. Tag: network redirector Tag: 84880

Can anybody help me as i m going to implement Network redirctor for
NFS_client(Windows) n NFS_Server(Linux) as for now plz help if U have
any example of it...is the Undocumented DOS(BOOK) will be really useful
in this context Can anybody tell me how to go for it....

how RDBSS will come in this whole context......will it come whn the
data is going to filter driver of I/O Manger

RDBSS is the top of a file system, you need to fill in all the bottom pieces
including talking over the network with TDI. The only starting point you
have is the smbmrx and the nullmrx samples from the IFS kit.

This is a huge project, I would estimate a minimum of 2 to 3 man-years for a
professional level product. You might want to check out the NTFSD list at
http://www.osronline.com since that is where file system types hang out.

Why reinvent the wheel? See
