ExRaiseAccessViolation function (ntddk.h)
The ExRaiseAccessViolation routine can be used with structured exception handling to throw a driver-determined exception for a memory access violation that occurs when a driver processes I/O requests.
Syntax
void ExRaiseAccessViolation();
Return value
None
Remarks
ExRaiseAccessViolation raises an exception with the exception code set to STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION.
Because ExRaiseAccessViolation can only be used at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL, only high-level drivers typically use this routine—for example, file system drivers.
