It may bugcheck at DISPATCH_LEVEL if the 3rd parameter (wait) is TRUE.

You should be able to set the event at dispatch, I have done exactly
this in the past (in another driver stack, not stream class). Are you
sure you have a valid PKEVENT pointer and there is still an outstanding
reference on it so it is still valid?

What exactly is the bugcheck code and parameters?

contd…(StreamClass)

I created an event in a user mode and sent it to a
streamclass kernel mode driver using set
property.(IKsproperty interface)

Then get a handle to it by calling
ObReferenceObjectByHandle(…)

When I set this event in kernel mode the user app
responds to it.But the problem is the driver is not
always able to dereference the handle as it doesnt
always get the SRB_CLOSE_instance.

Also a problem with this approach is that when
KeSetEvent is called it has to stay at passive level.
Otherwise I get a Bugcheck(Dispatch level).
Which means calling KelowerIrql??and that is something
risky…

Is there a safe and reliable way to share events in a
streamclass driver with user mode application ??

Nope I have at false.
KeSetEvent(UserEvent, IO_NO_INCREMENT, FALSE);

and in user app where i created the event it is
m_userevent=CreatEvent(NULL,FALSE,FALSE,NULL)

Thanks for all the help
