Hi All,
I am creating IRP pool using LookAsideList and using it in my driver since IRP is being used frequently in my source.
I have a question regarding the return status from the IRP completion.
When driver maintained IRP pool was used, is it valid for the completion routine to return STATUS_SUCCESS to the IO manager?
After reading this article from OSR http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm^id=83.htm it seems returning STATUS_SUCCESS is not a valid return code when driver created irp pool used.
Snippet from the OSR article
"One common instance where a completion routine is used is when a driver creates and manages its own IRP pool. In this case, the I/O completion routine traps the IRP, returns it to the driver’s private IRP pool, and then returns STATUS_MORE_PROCESSING _REQUIRED to the I/O Manager. This causes the I/O Manager to immediately cease processing the IRP completion and leaves the IRP with the driver."
Thanks,
