Hi Guys,

I am creating a system thread in the driver entry routine. and want this
thread to be terminated when i unload the driver. So i have a global boolean
which when set to true the system thread will terminate itself. but the
problem is after the unload routine finishes system goes blue :(… stack at
the time when BSOD occur is

F09E25D1
PsSetCreateThreadNotifyRoutine + 00AA
KiUnexpectedInterrupt + 0180

why does it happen so… cant i unload a driver b4 terminating its system
threads?

ta ta,
Arun

Wait on the thread’s pointer to catch the moment it will exit. The only
reliable way.
Also your BOOLEAN must be declared as “volatile”, don’t forget this.
