Filter Manager Concepts: Part 7 – IRP_CTRL

  • 项目

One very important structure that everyone writing minifilters very quickly becomes familiar is the FLT_CALLBACK_DATA. This is pretty much the equivalent of an IRP in the minifilter model. The structure is public and is pretty well documented. However, it is in fact just the public part of the picture. Filter manager has an internal structure (the IRP_CTRL) that wraps the FLT_CALLBACK_DATA. So there is a one-to-one relationship between the IRP, the IRP_CTRL and the FLT_CALLBACK_DATA. Let’s see that !fltkd tells us about it:

As you can see, a lot of information. The first thing I’d like to point out is there is another extension you could have used to display exactly the same information, !fltkd.cbd. In fact, they are exactly the same function internally and you can pass in the address of an IRP_CTRL or a FLT_CALLBACK_DATA and it’ll figure out what it is and display it. Also, very useful in debugging is the flag ‘1’. I didn’t use in this because it tends to generate a lot of output but try it yourself and you’ll see it displays a lot of good stuff.

This structure is central to filter manager and it is pretty much where the vast majority of my debugging sessions start. Some of the very interesting things you can get using this listing are, of course, the IRP, the InitiatingInstance (who initiated this IO? does it come from the user or was it a minifilter ?) and the Flags of the IRP_CTRL itself.

    If there is a one-to-one relationship between the IRP, the IRP_CTRL and the FLT_CALLBACK_DATA, supposedly you can getthe IRP from the data or address of FLT_CALLBACK_DATA.What is the best way to do that in minifilter's  *PreOperationCallback() function?John W.
