    - Who will free Irp from IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest? From MSDN DDK document, IRPs created using IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest must be completed by calling IoCompleteRequest and not by merely deallocating the IRP with IoFreeIrp. IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest queues the IRPs it creates in the IRP queue of the current thread. Freeing these IRPs without completing them might result in a system crash when the thread terminates as the thread attempts to deallocate the IRP's memory. However, from DDK examples and likes from other sources, I didn't see any FreeIrp or CompleteIrp for this reason. Seems to me the IRP is not freed anywhere through the code. Who frees this IRP?

    - Kernel Polling for Correctable Machine Checks Is it possible to disable the Windows kernel polling for correctable machine checks on an AMD processor? I have other functionality that does the polling for these types of errors so they can be logged to a BMC and I am getting race conditions where some of the errors are caught by the OS and some are caught by my functionality. I'd like to be able to disable the OS and allow my functionality to handle all of the correctable errors. Thanks. Bob Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60530

    - COM port application snooping I have a few devices that connect to PC using COM ports. I want to develop a protocol. Application will open the COM port(non-exclusive access) and send a protocol message. When it receives proper response(if at all) application knew the device and continues to talk. If the data is not expected response, may be this COM port is in use by some other application. So how can I snoop data and take it if it for my application and 'not capture' it if it is not for my application. I am not sure if I can achive it at user level itself. Do I need to dig into driver level. Is upper filter driver needed on all COM ports? Please give guidance on how I can accomplish this simple(for my boss), but not so simple. People who worked on embedded devices think COM port is piece of cake, but dont believe PC side complexities. Atleast educate me complexity here. I saw posts on virtual COM ports, but here I am not looking for any virtual COM ports, only existing ports. May be this snooping is needed on virtual COM also because from PC application all are same, but I dont need to develop any virtual ports.

    - Asking TDI send packets without calling TdiBuildSendDatagram Hi, I previously used TDI to send UDP packet, by calling TdiBuildSendDatagram, passing destination information. TDI will build the UDP packet for me. Now I'd like to build the packet myself. Is it possible that I can pass the constructed UDP packet to TDI, just ask TDI to send it? (By going through DDK, it looks like I can construct the IRP and make the TDI_SEND_DATAGRAM request. Is that the correct way?) Thanks, Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60501

    - Monitor CDROM read/write operations using filter driver Hello I want to monitor read and write operations from CDROM (on win xp and 2000). >From what I've read so far, I understand that I need an upper filter driver over scsiport.sys, and to monitor writing for example I need to check for IOCTL_SCSI_PASS_THROUGH. Is this correct? Any guidance on how to do it? Does this method monitor writing from all burning programs? Can anyone supply me with information about ASPI, IMAPI and why CD writing is done through the SCSI bus and not through the cdrom driver?

    - Trying to send multiple small IRPs -- thread hangs? I have a problem with my driver which is a disk filter. I have to break up read/write requests into multiple smaller requests to send to the disk driver. IoMakeAssociatedIrp() is exactly what I need, but the DDK states that IoMakeAssociatedIrp() can only be used by the top-most driver (FSDs). Heeding the DDK's warning, I have instead written code that calls IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest() to build an IRP to be sent synchronously to the disk driver. The code is essentially copied verbatim from the DDK samples: KEVENT ke; PIRP Irp; KeInitializeEvent(&ke, NotificationEvent, FALSE); Irp = IoBuildSynchronousFsdRequest(...); stat = IoCallDriver(NextDevice, Irp); if (stat == STATUS_PENDING) KeWaitForSingleObject(&ke, Executive, KernelMode, FALSE, NULL); For some reason all threads that go down this code path end up hanging in IoCancelIrp() when they try to terminate. My event gets set to indicate that the IRP has completed, but the IRP is still queued to the thread. Since the kernel does not BSOD, I presume IoFreeIrp() isn't actually called. My question is two-fold: 1) Is there any reason why IoMakeAssociatedIrp() wouldn't work? I don't see any intrinsic reason for the DDK's stern warning against using this in a lower-level driver. 2) If IoMakeAssociatedIrp() is out of the question, why is my driver causing threads to hang?

    - TDI driver calling ClientEventReceive handler problem I have a TDI driver (for a message-oriented protocol, not TCP/IP) which I am trying to run with a WinSock interface by using a helper DLL. The basic functions such as bind, accept, connect, recv and send are working, but I have found a problem when testing the select function which is not indicating when data is available for reading. The driver in its original form did not provide for the registration of a ClientEventReceive handler, so I have had to change the code to cater for this. Now, when data is received and I call the handler, it is always returning STATUS_DATA_NOT_ACCEPTED: this is with a test program where a single byte of data is available and the ReceiveFlags parameter is set to TDI_RECEIVE_NORMAL | TDI_RECEIVE_ENTIRE_MESSAGE. I have traced into the handler code and can see that it is checking AfdPollListHead which indicates that there is nothing on the list, though of course without access to the AFD source code it is impossible to tell whether this is really relevant to my problem. Does anyone have any ideas about what might cause this problem? Am I right to assume that the WinSock select depends on the ClientEventReceive handler accepting the data?

    - NDIS Miniport Serial Driver Hi, i currently have two modems attached on serial ports which i would like to run TCP/IP over when a link is established. Although i can get one machine to accept a connection and one to dial in, i ideally want a bi-directional link... that is either side can initiate a connection. From my exeperiments once a port is listening for incoming calls an outgoing connection cannot be made. This is purely with the available services on our XP machines. I have played about with the windows DDK and have seen the virtual serial port driver which emulates the responses of a Hayes AT modem. One of my thoughts is to have the modem appear as a network device under the network and dialup connections folder. When an incoming call is accepted the network device would be available, and appear disconnected at all other times. I would control the logical link (dialing and link detection) in the driver layer. >From my short searches on newsgroups it seems this question is similair to other peoples. Even if the bidirectional dial in / dial out can be done by other means, i am still interested in creating a network device which controls a device on the serial port for our propriatory radio modems.

    - NDIS_TASK_TCP_LARGE_SEND NDIS_TASK_TCP_LARGE_SEND structure member definition from MSDN Home > MSDN Library > Win32 and COM Development > Driver Development Kit > Network Devices and Protocols > Reference > NDIS > Structures Used by NDIS Drivers MinSegmentCount A miniport driver set this to the minimum number of segments that a large TCP packet must be divisible by before the transport can offload it to a NIC for segmentation. The transport will not offload a large packet to the miniport driver for segmentation unless the miniport driver can create at least MinSegmentCount segments from the packet. If a large TCP packet does not meet the minimum-segment requirement, the TCP/IP transport itself segments the packet into smaller packets. The 1st sentence and the 2nd does not seem to match each other. Is it the expected minimum segment count input from TCP/IP transport to NIC before segmentation offload (my interpretation from 1st sentence) or is it the expected minimum segments that the NIC segmentation offload can create for a given packet passed from TCP/IP transport (my interpretation from 2nd sentence)? Regardless, I am not quite sure why this parameter is important. How does any value other than 1 make sense? Anyone can explain? Doesn't "MaxSegmentCount" by NIC offload engine make more sense? If PDU is larger than MaxOffloadSize*MaxSegmentCount, the NIC offload engine won't be able to do the right segmentation. TCP/IP transport should not offload in this case. Thanks!

    - Smartcard Device Path exerciser test fail Hi, I have two questions if anyone could help... 1) I have a smartcard driver that does not implement the IRP_MJ_READ or IRP_MJ_WRITE, however in the device path exerciser test, it pounds the driver with zwwritefile and zwreadfile requests. This of course gets rejected by the OS as I do not register any IRP_MJ_WRITE or IRP_MJ_READ handling routines. The test then says the DevPathExer has stopped making progress... Attempting to resume thread. Is this normal or do I need to do something about the WRITE and READ? 2) Also after the above occurs, the test will think the thread is hung and continue to the next case. the next case sends a zwDeviceIoControl command (which I can't find any info on) and hangs... in my windbg, I can see the message telling me an IRP dispatch handler has returned without passing down or completing this IRP or someone forgot to return STATUS_PENDING. When I do a !IRP, it tells me Irp is active with 2 stacks 2 is current but not much more info. It seems to be the IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL, but in my code that handles that call, all I do is pass the IRP to the smartcarddevcicecontrol API which is suppose to handle, complete, pass on...etc... the IRP for smartcard readers. Thus I'm not understanding why I'm getting the error. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60431

    - _CL_ setting in DDK's setenv.bat Curious about these explicit settings in the DDK's setenv.bat (3790): set _ML_=/Zvc6 set _CL_=/Ztmp set _LINK_=/Tmp There seems to be no documentation of any of them anywhere, and the only reference appears to be in "i386mk.inc" in the entire DDK. I believe they have stayed like that for a while. Now that it gives a warning (warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '/Ztmp') for each and every single user-mode component that I build with PREfast, I've come to a point that I'd like to understand better the intent behind these settings and what to do to get rid of the warning without introducing problems down the road (yep, I cannot bear with any dust in the code, and am living in a glass house 8-) Thanks in advance for any insight.

    - Printer driver installation from Windows 2003 Clustere server to W Windows 2003 Clustered server has a new method to install printer drivers. Previously, the admin had to install the printer drivers to the each node of the clustered server and delete the printers. Then he/she could install the printer driver to the clustered server. The new way is to install the printer driver to the clustered server directly from an outside the machine (no nodes for the clustered server). Installing the printer driver to the Windows 98 client fails if I use the new installation method. The installation process does not know where to find some/all driver files. But the old installation method does not have any problems. Is Microsoft aware of this issue? Is Windows 98 client officially not supported by Windows 2003 Clustered server? Is there a workaround or solution? Please let me know. Thank you. Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60428

    - Changing the name of a driver's DriverEntry entry point? The DDK says that this is possible, but I can't figure out how to do this.

The line that sets the driver's entry point is in makefile.new, but I can't figure out a way to override that setting (sets DRIVER_ENTRY macro) either from the command-line or from the SOURCES file.

    - connecting a virtual smart card reader Dear devs I am actually working on a virtual smart card reader with non-existing hardware. I could manage to write a device driver, which is now listed active in my device manager tree and does not claim any errors. I thought when I get this working, it would be listed in the smart card selection GUI also. But this is not true! I also have an USB card reader driver installed (from Schlumberger) which ist listed in both windows. Also when the reader itself is not connected to the system. This is exactly the effect I wanted for my driver. The same is true for the SCardListReaders function. When I use a NULL-Context it lists all readers that were ever introduced to the system (including mine). But when I use the real Context Handle it only lists the readers connected to the system, with exception of the Schlumberger reader which does not have to be connected. How can I manage to get my reader "virtually" connected like the Schlumberger one? And how is the name I use in SCardIntroduceReader related to the driver/device? cheers, Vic Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60399

    - Mouse drivers and Microsoft IntelliMouse Hi every one, I just began to learn device driver development and I thought computer mouse was probably the simplest device to start with. My first question to you is (1) Why none of the books that teach device driver development (I have collected most of them) use either non-realistic examples (where no real hardware is involved) or examples require a piece of expensive hardware (at least to a reader like me who does not write driver for living), but not use mouse or keyboard as examples? There is probably a reason for that, I would like to hear your comments. I bought a Microsoft IntelliMouse with tiltable wheel for horizontal scroll. Is really cool and I would like to understand how it works. I would guess it sends a larger data packet to accommodate the additional horizontal scroll data. I wonder how the driver works and how an application program with horizontal scroll ability (such as Excel) uses this data and carries out horizontal scroll. I checked www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/input/default.mspx but only found information (such as data packet formats, etc.) for other MS IntelliMouse (without horizontal scroll). My second question is (2) Does Microsoft publish information on the IntelliMouse with horizontal scroll and where can I find it? Thanks, Liang Fu Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60397

    - concurrent read and iocontrol I have an multi-threaded application that calls ReadFile in one thread and DeviceIoControl in another thread on the same driver. In the situation that troubles me, the first thread is blocked in the synchronous read, while the second asynchronously issues the ioctl. Now the ioctl thread is apparently blocked until the synchronous read returns. Before the read returns the ioctl dispatch routine in the driver never even gets called (indicating that it is not a homemade lock contention). Is this normal in XP, or did I do something stupid in my driver (read routine)? Thanks for any suggestions! Arne Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60392

    - Multiple lower filter drivers Hi All, I have a function driver for which i have two lower filter drivers for some reason. If an IRP is sent from the function driver, then which of these two lower filters would receive it? Would both of them receive this IRP (this sounds illogical)? I have a situation where, I want the first lower filter driver to handle the actual IRP processing from the function driver. I want the second lower filter driver to behave as a DUMMY FILTER DRIVER (doing almost nothing except interfacing with some application for receiving custom IOCTLs). It can be noted here that the function driver and the first lower filter drivers are third-party filter drivers while the DUMMY FILTER DRIVER is written by me. My problem is that all the IRPs, sent from function driver, are now currently received in my driver instead of the 3rd party filter driver. Is there a way to control this behavior? Am i missing something here? Hari. Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60388

    - Cannot capture DirectDraw graphics in a mirror driver Hello! In my project, I need to capture everything that shows up on a primary monitor (in a dual-monitor system) and display parts of it on the second monitor (I mean, continuously - not as a single-frame capture). I wrote a mirror driver that sees all screen updates, and a user-mode application that gets those updates from the driver and draws them on the secondary monitor. It works fine for all GDI operations. However, I have a problem with DirectX-based graphics and video. The driver doesn't seem to see any of it. (The original version of the driver worked on a single-monitor Windows 2000 system, and it could capture pretty much everything we tried - though we didn't specifically try DirectX-based graphics, but, for example, the video player worked). Can a mirror driver capture the DirectX-related calls the same way it does the GDI calls? I'm looking through the DirectX DDK documentation, but it doesn't seem to support the "mirroring". Should I start researching in a different direction? If this makes a difference, I'm using the nVidea GeForce DVI video card. Thank you so much for any hints!

    - default DDK build options? When I use the DDK 'build' utility, various options for verbose output seems to be enabled by default - does anyone know how to quiet this command down a bit? The default 'build' output is something like: ======================================= BUILD: Adding /Y to COPYCMD so xcopy ops won't hang. BUILD: Object root set to: ==> objchk_w2K_x86 BUILD: Compile and Link for i386 BUILD: Loading c:\Progra~1\Window~4\build.dat... BUILD: Computing Include file dependencies: BUILD: Examining f:\projects\shoutdev\spm directory for files to compile. f:\projects\shoutdev\spm f:\projects\shoutdev\spm - 1 source files (3,276 lines) BUILD: Saving c:\Progra~1\Window~4\build.dat... BUILD: Compiling (NoSync) f:\projects\shoutdev\spm directory Compiling - serial.cpp for i386 BUILD: Linking f:\projects\shoutdev\spm directory Linking Executable - objchk_w2k_x86\i386\spm.sys for i386 BUILD: Done 2 files compiled - 3276 LPS 1 executable built SPM - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) ======================================= It seems that 'build' options -S and -T are both on by default, and I don't see any way to negate these flags. [I am adding the DDK build to a larger project with lots of builds and compilers, and it's run by many people. I currently have to explain over and over why this new DDK compiler is so much more spammy that some of the other compilers used...] How do I modify these defaults [to quiet things down]? / Hannes.

    - IM driver halted when virtaul adapter is created We have developed an NDIS IM driver and a notify object to support our driver. Windows 2003 (build Build 1289 and above) ============================= The driver is halted each time a new virtual adapter is created. For some reason with build 1289 and 1421 the halt routine is being called which triggers the driver being unloaded even though there are some VLAN already on the adapter. Thereafter DriverEntry is being called once again. This behaviour is not seen in earlier builds of Windows 2003 MUX behaviour ========== I observed the same behaviour even with the mux sample in DDK. Please advice as what is the change due to which the halt is being called in 1289 and above causing the driver Entry being called with each VLAN creation.

    - calling DCOM object from within a driver function Hi In the DrvConvertDevmodeW Function of my printer driver, I create a COM-Object to find out, what printer my virtual driver has to simulate. And this COM element trys to connect to a DCOM element on a server somewhere in the network. Now, this normally works, but not during setup. So, is there a reason why this doesn't work during setup? And if yes, can I somehow find out, that my function is called during setup, so that I can prevent my driver from calling this DCOM-element? thanks for help MR Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60357

    - WDM Book: How to compile the samclass.dll? Hi Learning how to programm a PCI card the Chap7/pci42/sys driver was compiled. The hardware wizard detected the new card but when trying to finish the driver installation it asks for the file samclass.dll but the file is not at the Chap15 directory. Trying to compile samclass.dll delivers an error on the samclass.rc, the afxres.h isn't found. 1.- Is there something wrong with the software installation or PC's setup? 2.- How is it possible to compile the samclass.dll file? Any help or information on how to solve the problem will be kindly appreciated Best Regards Tag: windows xp pro x64 compatible hardware Tag: 60353

    - One Driverfor NT/2K/XP Hi, I am developing a device driver required to run on all the three NT/200/XP operating systems. Do I develop only one driver using NT DDK (or 2k/XP)? Or shall I have to compile one for each environment separately. In case it is possible to build only one driver(of course with few limitations) what additional settings do I need to make in MSVD 6.0?

    - Adding an entry to the LDT I'm sure this is going to generate a bunch of "You Hacker" or "You're crazy" responses, but this is legit. I'm trying to create a driver that will read from the SMBus BIOS interface. In order to do that, I have to add an LDT (or GDT) descriptor. I've looked around and found NtSetLdtEntries to be the only function worthy to do so, but I can't find any documentation on it except sample code to determine if your system is vulnerable to a hack attack. Is there anyone out there that can give me any idea of how to do this from my driver? Does anyone have documentation (official or otherwise) on the NtSetLdtEntries function? Thanks in advance...
