StorPortSpinLock rule (storport)

  • Article

This rule verifies that locks that are acquired via StorPortAcquireSpinLock are promptly released via StorPortReleaseSpinLock. The miniport driver fails the rule if it attempts to acquire a lock that it had already acquired, or if it attempts to release a lock that it had not acquired. In addition, at the end of the dispatch or cancel routine, the driver should not hold any spin locks.

Driver model: Storport

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the StorPortSpinLock 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.
