Returning Status from Completion Routines

Note

For optimal reliability and performance, use file system minifilter drivers with Filter Manager support instead of legacy file system filter drivers. To port your legacy driver to a minifilter driver, see Guidelines for Porting Legacy Filter Drivers.

A legacy file system filter driver's completion routine normally returns one of the following two NTSTATUS values to the caller:

  • STATUS_SUCCESS

  • STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED

STATUS_SUCCESS indicates that the driver is finished with the IRP and allows the I/O Manager to continue completion processing on the IRP.

STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED halts the I/O Manager's completion processing on the IRP.

If any other NTSTATUS value is returned, the I/O Manager resets it to STATUS_SUCCESS.

For more information about returning STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING_REQUIRED, see Constraints on Completion Routines.
