CtlDeviceFinishInitDrEntry rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The CtlDeviceFinishInitDrEntry rule specifies that if a driver creates a control device object in a DriverEntry callback function, it must call WdfControlFinishInitializing after the device has been created and before it exits from the EvtDriverDeviceAdd callback function. This rule does not apply for non-PnP drivers.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the CtlDeviceFinishInitDrEntry rule.

Use the following steps to run an analysis of your code:
  1. Prepare your code (use role type declarations).
  2. Run Static Driver Verifier.
  3. View and analyze the results.
