The free OSR Learning Library has more than 50 articles on a wide variety of topics about writing and debugging device drivers and Minifilters. From introductory level to advanced. All the articles have been recently reviewed and updated, and are written using the clear and definitive style you've come to expect from OSR over the years.

In user mode you do this to get a handle to the mini filter port:
HANDLE hPort = NULL; HRESULT hr = FilterConnectCommunicationPort(MY_PORT_NAME, 0, NULL, 0, NULL, &hPort);
Is it safe to use that hPort from multiple threads, i.e with calls to FilterSendMessage using the same hPort? I've been trying to find an answer to this but haven't found anything explicitly answering the question.
Thanks

Yes, you can use the port from multiple threads.
I can't find any supporting docs either, but the samples certainly do it (see the scanner sample)
