EVT_WDF_INTERRUPT_ISR callback function (wdfinterrupt.h)
[Applies to KMDF and UMDF]
A driver's EvtInterruptIsr event callback function services a hardware interrupt.
Syntax
EVT_WDF_INTERRUPT_ISR EvtWdfInterruptIsr;
BOOLEAN EvtWdfInterruptIsr(
[in] WDFINTERRUPT Interrupt,
[in] ULONG MessageID
)
{...}
Parameters
[in] Interrupt
A handle to a framework interrupt object.
[in] MessageID
If the device is using message-signaled interrupts (MSIs), this parameter is the message number that identifies the device's hardware interrupt message. Otherwise, this value is 0.
Return value
The EvtInterruptIsr callback function must return TRUE if the function services the hardware interrupt. Otherwise, this function must return FALSE.
Remarks
To register an EvtInterruptIsr callback function, your driver must place the callback function's address in a WDF_INTERRUPT_CONFIG structure before calling WdfInterruptCreate.
The EvtInterruptIsr callback function is a framework-based driver's interrupt service routine (ISR), which is called when a hardware interrupt occurs.
If the interrupt is not from the hardware that this EvtInterruptIsr callback function services, the driver must return FALSE. If the interrupt vector is being shared, the system calls another interrupt service routine.
If the driver has not requested passive-level handling for an interrupt object, then before calling the EvtInterruptIsr callback function, the framework raises the processor's IRQL to the device's IRQL (DIRQL) and acquires the spin lock that the driver specified in the interrupt object's WDF_INTERRUPT_CONFIG structure.
Because the EvtInterruptIsr callback function executes at a relatively high IRQL, it can call very few framework object methods or system routines. Additionally, this callback function cannot access pageable code.
Typically, the EvtInterruptIsr callback function clears the hardware interrupt and saves any information that might be lost after the callback function returns and the system lowers the IRQL (because lowering the IRQL allows additional interrupts to occur). Framework-based drivers save information about the interrupt in the interrupt object's context space.
Drivers typically provide an EvtInterruptDpc callback function to process the saved information at a lower IRQL. (A few drivers provide one or more EvtDpcFunc callback functions instead of an EvtInterruptDpc callback function.) For information about scheduling an EvtInterruptDpc callback function for execution, see Servicing an Interrupt.
The EvtInterruptIsr callback function must be able to service several interrupts before the EvtInterruptDpc callback function executes. Therefore, the driver might have to store interrupt data from several interrupts, and the EvtInterruptIsr andEvtInterruptDpc callback functions might have to determine which interrupt data has been completely processed by the driver and which has not.
Beginning with version 1.11 of KMDF, your driver can provide passive-level interrupt handling. If the driver has requested passive-level handling for an interrupt object, then before calling that interrupt's EvtInterruptIsr callback function at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL, the framework acquires the passive-level interrupt lock that the driver configured in the interrupt object's WDF_INTERRUPT_CONFIG structure. As with interrupt handling at DIRQL, the driver's EvtInterruptIsr function should still save information about the interrupt for later processing.
Drivers that support passive-level interrupt handling can provide either an EvtInterruptWorkItem or an EvtInterruptDpc callback function to process the saved information.
