Input buffer length
Parameters.DeviceIoControl.InputBufferLength in the I/O stack location of the IRP indicates the size, in bytes, of the buffer.
Output buffer
The device driver returns an array of BAD_TRACK_NUMBER values to the buffer at Irp->AssociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.
Output buffer length
Length of the buffer.
Status block
The Information field is set to the size of the returned bad-track array when the Status field is set to STATUS_SUCCESS. Otherwise, the Information field is zero and the Status field possibly can be set to STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER or STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED if the media is removable.
