RE: What determines the IRQL of SCSI Miniport StartIo- routine?

I’ve rarely seen it at DISPATCH_LEVEL. It’s most commonly at DIRQL. I
stated below that it was just below DIRQL, but that was before I read in
Inside Windows 2000 that (DIRQL = 27 - IRQ) on a uniprocessor system. If
that is true, then it’s almost always at DIRQL, on Win2K SP1.

Thanks,

Phil

HwStartIo should always come in at DISPATCH_LEVEL.

I’m seeking to satisfy curiosity about the IRQL, and the answer could have
some effect on how I do some things I may be doing in the future.

Using KeGetCurrentIrql(), I have discovered that the IRQL is not always the
same, is mostly just below DIRQL, but never actually DIRQL. Does anyone
have any rhyme or reason to how a given SRB arrives at a given IRQL?

Thanks,

Phil
