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.

InterlockedIncrement64 Available?
In wdm.h, i've found these:
#define InterlockedIncrement64 _InterlockedIncrement64
LONG64
InterlockedIncrement64 (
_Inout_ _Interlocked_operand_ LONG64 volatile *Addend
);
But after some search "InterlockedIncrement" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/wdm/nf-wdm-interlockedincrement) is the only one documented which takes a LONG argument:
LONG CDECL_NON_WVMPURE InterlockedIncrement(
[in, out] LONG volatile *Addend
);
So what is the proper way to increment a 64bit argument ? Should we just call InterlockedIncrement64 directly?
Howdy, Stranger!

That’s what I would do. I’d also file a bug on the docs, indicating the 64-bit variant is undocumented. I’m sure the doc writers will appreciate this, and if there happens to be some strange reason the decision to not doc the function is intentional, they’ll telll you.

note also that modern compilers implement these as intrinsics and emit the lock instructions directly. That may be why they aren't in this part of the documentation
