EVT_WDF_DPC callback function (wdfdpc.h)
[Applies to KMDF only]
A driver's EvtDpcFunc callback function performs driver-defined operations at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL.
Syntax
EVT_WDF_DPC EvtWdfDpc;
void EvtWdfDpc(
[in] WDFDPC Dpc
)
{...}
Parameters
[in] Dpc
A handle to a framework DPC object.
Return value
None
Remarks
To register an EvtDpcFunc callback function, your driver must place the function's address in a WDF_DPC_CONFIG structure and call WdfDpcCreate.
Drivers typically complete I/O requests in their EvtDpcFunc callback functions.
The EvtDpcFunc callback function executes at DISPATCH_LEVEL and must not access pageable code. If an EvtDpcFunc callback function must perform operations at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL, it can use framework work items.
Instead of providing EvtDpcFunc callback functions, many drivers provide a single EvtInterruptDpc callback function for each type of interrupt that its devices support. If your driver creates multiple framework queue objects for each device, you might consider using a separate DPC object and EvtDpcFunc callback function for each queue.
To schedule execution of an EvtDpcFunc callback function, the driver must call WdfDpcEnqueue. Drivers typically call WdfDpcEnqueue from an EvtInterruptIsr callback function.
When a driver calls WdfDpcEnqueue, the system adds the DPC object to the system's DPC queue. If the system is not executing higher-priority tasks, it removes the object from the queue and calls the object's EvtDpcFunc callback function.
The system does not add the DPC object to the DPC queue if the object is already queued. An EvtInterruptIsr callback function might be called several times before the system calls the EvtDpcFunc callback function. Therefore, the EvtDpcFunc callback function must be able to process information from several interrupts, and it must process all of the interrupts that have occurred since the last time it was called.
Typically, it is necessary to synchronize the execution of a driver's EvtDpcFunc callback function with the execution of other callback functions. For more information, see Synchronizing Interrupt Code.
To obtain a handle to a DPC object's parent object, the EvtDpcFunc callback function can call WdfDpcGetParentObject. To obtain a pointer to a DPC object's underlying KDPC structure, the EvtDpcFunc callback function can call WdfDpcWdmGetDpc.
