IWDFInterrupt::TryToAcquireInterruptLock method (wudfddi.h)
[Warning: UMDF 2 is the latest version of UMDF and supersedes UMDF 1. All new UMDF drivers should be written using UMDF 2. No new features are being added to UMDF 1 and there is limited support for UMDF 1 on newer versions of Windows 10. Universal Windows drivers must use UMDF 2. For more info, see Getting Started with UMDF.]
The TryToAcquireInterruptLock method acquires the interrupt lock if no other thread has already acquired it.
Syntax
BOOLEAN TryToAcquireInterruptLock();
Return value
The method returns TRUE if the interrupt lock was successfully acquired. Otherwise, the method returns FALSE.
Remarks
Unlike IWDFInterrupt::AcquireInterruptLock, IWDFInterrupt::TryToAcquireInterruptLock does not wait for the interrupt lock to become available if another thread is holding it.
When running in an arbitrary thread, such as an I/O queue callback method, drivers must call IWDFInterrupt::TryToAcquireInterruptLock instead of IWDFInterrupt::AcquireInterruptLock. For example, the driver calls IWDFInterrupt::TryToAcquireInterruptLock from IQueueCallbackRead::OnRead. Doing so avoids the possibility of deadlock, as described in the Remarks section of IWDFInterrupt::AcquireInterruptLock.
The driver must not attempt to acquire the lock recursively. If connected to the debugger, the framework introduces a breakpoint in this scenario.
