SyncReqSend rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The SyncReqSend rule specifies that all synchronous send requests are done by using synchronous-specific KMDF device driver interface methods, and that the methods have a nonzero timeout value set.

If the driver calls a WDFxxxSendXXXSynchronously method without setting a valid timeout, the thread can become stalled if hardware does not respond promptly.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the SyncReqSend rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
