IoBuildDeviceIoControlSetEvent rule (wdm)

The IoBuildDeviceIoControlSetEvent rule specifies that a driver that calls IoBuildDeviceIoControlRequest must not call KeSetEvent if the driver supplies a pointer to a caller-allocated and initialized event object. The KeSetEvent does not need to be called by the driver for this IRP.

Driver model: WDM

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the IoBuildDeviceIoControlSetEvent 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.
