FsRtlOplockBreakH function (ntifs.h)

The FsRtlOplockBreakH routine breaks CACHE_HANDLE_LEVEL opportunistic locks (oplocks).

Syntax

NTSTATUS FsRtlOplockBreakH(
  [in]           POPLOCK                       Oplock,
  [in]           PIRP                          Irp,
  [in]           ULONG                         Flags,
  [in, optional] PVOID                         Context,
  [in, optional] POPLOCK_WAIT_COMPLETE_ROUTINE CompletionRoutine,
  [in, optional] POPLOCK_FS_PREPOST_IRP        PostIrpRoutine
);

Parameters

[in] Oplock

An opaque opportunistic lock pointer for the file. This pointer must have been initialized by a previous call to FsRtlInitializeOplock.

[in] Irp

A pointer to the IRP for the I/O operation.

[in] Flags

A bitmask for the associated file I/O operation. A file system or filter driver sets bits to specify the behavior of FsRtlOplockBreakH. The Flags parameter has the following options:

OPLOCK_FLAG_COMPLETE_IF_OPLOCKED (0x00000001)

Specifies to allow an oplock break to proceed without blocking or pending the operation that caused the oplock break.

OPLOCK_FLAG_IGNORE_OPLOCK_KEYS (0x00000008)

Supported in Windows 7 and later versions.

Specifies to allow CACHE_HANDLE_LEVEL oplock breaks to proceed regardless of the oplock key.

[in, optional] Context

A pointer to caller-defined context information to be passed to the callback routines that the CompletionRoutine and PostIrpRoutine parameters point to.

[in, optional] CompletionRoutine

A pointer to a caller-supplied callback routine. If an oplock break is in progress, this routine is called when the break is completed. This parameter is optional and can be NULL. If it is NULL, the caller is put into a wait state until the oplock break is completed.

This routine is declared as follows:

typedef VOID
(*POPLOCK_WAIT_COMPLETE_ROUTINE) (
      IN PVOID Context,
      IN PIRP Irp
      );

This routine has the following parameters:

Context

A context information pointer that was passed in the Context parameter to FsRtlOplockBreakH.

Irp

A pointer to the IRP for the I/O operation.

[in, optional] PostIrpRoutine

A pointer to a caller-supplied callback routine to be called if the I/O operation is to be pended. The routine is called before the oplock package pends the IRP. This parameter is optional and can be NULL.

This routine is declared as follows:

typedef VOID
(*POPLOCK_FS_PREPOST_IRP) (
      IN PVOID Context,
      IN PIRP Irp
      );

Context

A context information pointer that was passed in the Context parameter to FsRtlOplockBreakH.

Irp

A pointer to the IRP for the I/O operation.

Return value

FsRtlOplockBreakH returns STATUS_SUCCESS or an appropriate NTSTATUS code, such as one of the following:

Return code	Description
STATUS_CANCELLED	The IRP was canceled. STATUS_CANCELLED is an error code.
STATUS_PENDING	The IRP was posted to a work queue. STATUS_PENDING is a success code.
STATUS_CANNOT_BREAK_OPLOCK	The opportunistic lock (oplock) break cannot be accomplished. The IRP is an IRP_MJ_CREATE request. FILE_OPEN_REQUIRING_OPLOCK was specified in the create options parameter for the operation, and there is a granted oplock. STATUS_CANNOT_BREAK_OPLOCK is an error code.

Remarks

When an operation must break CACHE_HANDLE_LEVEL oplocks, the operation calls FsRtlOplockBreakH.

If the caller specifies the OPLOCK_FLAG_IGNORE_OPLOCK_KEYS flag in the Flags parameter, FsRtlOplockBreakH breaks all CACHE_HANDLE_LEVEL oplocks, regardless of the oplock key. The default behavior of FsRtlOplockBreakH is to break oplocks whose keys do not match the key on the caller's file object.

Minifilters should call FltOplockBreakH instead of FsRtlOplockBreakH.
