SpinLockDpr rule (ndis)

  • Article

The SpinLockDpr rule verifies the correct use of the NDIS spin lock interface.

This rule specifies that calls to NdisDprAcquireSpinLock are made only when the spin lock is in the unlocked state. This rule also verifies that the spin lock is released before the miniport handler routine exits.

Driver model: NDIS

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the SpinLockDpr 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.
