IrqlKeReleaseSpinLock rule (storport)

This rule verifies that KeReleaseSpinLock is called at IRQL = DISPATCH_LEVEL only. It must also set the IRQL to the previous IRQL level. Typically this call would be preceded by a call to KeAcquireSpinLock.

Driver model: Storport

How to test

At compile time

Run Static Driver Verifier and specify the IrqlKeReleaseSpinLock 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.
