ListEntry in DeviceObject

NTFSD

Hi, all

does anyone know if the DeviceObject->Queue.ListEntry
is used by the system (and if yes, then for what purpose ?)
or it is free to use in my private lists ?
Or should I use my own ListEntry list in device extension ?

It is used by the system, use your own in a device extension. If it isn’t
documented in the DDK’s page on DEVICE_OBJECT’s don’t use it.

Ladislav,

Don is right. This Queue.ListEntry is to be used internally by the system
and please do not make use it. Currently it is used to link all the
registered file system but that can change anytime. Use a ListEntry in the
device extension instead.

Thanks
