RE: What are the best ways to execute the operation at PA SSIVE_LEVEL instead of DISPATCH_LEVE

I would go for a parallel thread approach. You can have a thread running
(waiting for an event)in the driver 2 at PASSIVE_LEVEL. Set an event in the
function running at DISPATCH_LEVEL.

Hi all

I have a doubt regarding calling the next level driver at PASSIVE_LEVEL .
Let us say we have two drivers stacked as driver 1/ driver 2 . If driver 1
is calling driver 2 at DISPATCH_LEVEL and in driver 2 some of the calls to
be executed at PASSIVE_LEVEL only , what are the best ways to execute the
operation in driver 2 ? . In what ways we can wait for the IRQL till it
becomes PASSIVE_LEVEL ?

Thanks in advance
