Hi all. I am in a self-project in which I try to port my WINNT driver
architecture in WDM architecture. Several issues have arisen during this
attempt. One of those, maybe the most simple, is usage of
“IoRegisterDeviceInterface” function.
How can I figure out what is the symbolic name of the successful execution
of this function? Should I save this symbolic name in the registry and
announce it this way to the user program to access the spefic device?
Thank you in advance.
You use the setup api in the sdk to enumerate device interfaces. See the
documentation for SetupDiGetDeviceInterfaceDetail.

I have already read the documentation of the SDK but some questions remain.
I was able to achieve a DevicePath that looks like
\?\pci#ven_10b5&dev_1860&subsys_905410b5&rev_0b#4&11cd5334&0&50f0#{23c79409
-0f56-4374-b409-a449bd7caac8}
But CreateFile fails and the return of GetLastError is 0x2;
How comes the system that informs me about the Interface is not able to
create a handle to it?
Thanks.

You have some other issue. The device interface mechanism in the kernel and
its enumeration support in user mode function correctly.

You must also implement a dispatch routine for IRP_MJ_CREATE,
IRP_MJ_CLEANUP, and IRP_MJ_CLOSE. If you don’t, CreateFile will fail.

Thanks Mark for eliminating at least these two mechanisms. I have
implemented the IRP_MJ_CLEANUP as Doron sujested but still nothing. The
error remains the same.
Thank you for your help.

Is this for a filter or your own function driver? What class is your
device installed under? Some classes, like mouse or keyboards, do not
allow 2ndary opens.
Did you clear the DO_DEVICE_INITIALIZING bit in DeviceObject->Flags in
your AddDevice routine?

Mark and Doron thank you very much for your reply.
The problem was of what Doron thought. IRP_MJ_CLEANUP. I implemented the
function but I also changed the configuration of the BIOS and my device was
conflicting with another. After implementing the function I could not
figured out why was I still having the problem.
I re-installed the driver, switched off the conflicting device (no driver
availiable) and now it works.
After this incident I remembered something very critical in engineering “One
step at a time”.
Again, Thank you very much.
