So in the application DeviceIoControl() if I specify both “InputBuffer” and “OutputBuffer” ,both can be used to transfer data to/from the driver ?
does that mean,we can do both BUFFERED IO and DIRECT IO at the same time using METHOD_*_DIRECT?.
When I specified “OutputBuffer” in DeviceIoControl() ,I get the corresponding MDL at the Irp.Thank you folks.
Thanks,
Reeja

To expand a little on Max’s suggestion, when you use the DIRECT methods only one direction is direct buffer (either IN or OUT) - then the other direction will still be BUFFERED. Perhaps you are specifying the wrong direction and then you are looking at the BUFFERED variable instead of the DIRECT one.

DO_DIRECT_IO has no effect on IOCTLs, only on reads and writes.
Try METHOD_OUT_DIRECT.

Hi,
I added a new METHOD_IN_DIRECT ioctl to a kernel mode driver.I changed device object flags to pDeviceObject->Flags| = DO_DIRECT_IO.But when the application send a buffer through this IOCTL call the buffer get as a BUFFERED_IO call. That means pIrp->MdlAddress is NULL and I can see the buffer at pIRP->AsscociatedIrp.SystemBuffer.Am I missing something?Any clue?
Thanks in advance,
Reeja
