QueuedSpinLock rule (storport)

  • Article

The QueuedSpinLock rule verifies that in-stack queued spin locks that are acquired using KeAcquireInStackQueuedSpinLock are promptly released using KeReleaseInStackQueuedSpinLock. In addition, at the end of a dispatch or cancel routine, the driver should not hold any locks.

Driver model: Storport

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the QueuedSpinLock 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.
