Hi All,
Basically, my question is: should the work with lookaside lists be
synchronized or not?
I know that PAGED_LOOKASIDE_LIST structure contains a fast mutex but I do
not know whether ExAllocateFromPagedLookasideList, for example, uses it.
The inline code for non-X86 does not handle synchronization.
I have a reason to believe that X86 implementation might not be using
the fast mutex either.
FYI: I had a blue screen and syncronizing access to the lookaside list
“cured” the problem.
Did it really?
