WdfWaitlock rule (kmdf)

  • Article

The WdfWaitlock rule specifies that calls to WdfWaitLockAcquire are used in strict alternation with WdfWaitlockRelease. When the KMDF event callback function returns, the driver should not hold the framework wait lock object that was obtained by a previous call to WdfWaitLockAcquire.

Driver model: KMDF

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the WdfWaitlock 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.
