How to guanrantee a system thread to run at passive level?

NTDEV
1

I have created a system thread to dedicatedly do some passive level work. But system thread can also run at dispatch level, so how can I guanrantee it to run at passive level? Thanks.

It runs at passive level unless you explicitly do something to raise it to
dispatch level.

Ex/IoQueueWorkItem callbacks always run on PASSIVE, unless you will raise
to DISPATCH yourself.
