MmIsRecursiveIoFault and IRP_MJ_CREATE

What significance, if any, does MmIsRecursiveIoFault != 0 have when in an
IRP_MJ_CREATE dispatch routine? Thanks for any insights. - Neil

Neil,

I don’t believe it has any significance. All of the Microsoft file
systems access their metadata (directories, MFT, FAT tables, etc) by
memory mapping their metadata files so it is perfectly normal for
recursive paging IO operations to occur while opening/creating a file.
