As long as you do not have ANY execution threads that need to modify the
resource state at DISPATCH_LEVEL then you can use locks other than
spinlocks. Carefully read the IRQL requirements for your lock of choice.
IMHO the simplest and least restrictive lock is an event based lock.

Hi,
If I have a code that runs in passive level and I want to protect some
resources. Do I have to use Spin Lock? Is it possible to use Mutex or Fast
Mutex instead?
Thanks,
Gil.
