SpinLockDprRelease rule (ndis)

  • Article

The SpinLockDprRelease rule verifies that calls to NdisAcquireSpinLock or NdisDprAcquireSpinLock are called only when the SpinLock is the "unlocked" state. This rule also checks that before exiting the miniport handler routine the SpinLock has been release.

Driver model: NDIS

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the SpinLockDprRelease 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.
