Thanks alot for the reply Mark and Gary.
Ok . That means if the cancel routine is not set it will not be cancelled
and it will wait for 5 minutes to complete the request .
if I set the cancel routine is set for the IRP , in the cancel routine
complete the request with status cancelled , will the completion routine is
still called . Because , I would have allocated some context memory
structures and URB structures which will be released when the completion
routine is called. When setting the cancel routine it is not possible to
pass all the parameters I need . How do I get rid of them ? If I don’t
release them as I was doing in completion routine it will be a memory leak .
Do you guys agree with this ?
this is the doubt I have . I could not find much information on it .
Thanks in advance

Yes all IRPs for that thread are cancelled, well, it is better said that
their cancel routines will be called. If you have not set a cancel routine
for an IRP then that IRP will not be cancelled. This will cause nasty-grams
from driver verifier and an unloadable driver.

Hi Mark
Thanks for the reply.
Is that means when “CancelIo” call is made from the application , all pended
IRP’s Cancel routines are called for that particular thread ? If there is no
cacncel routine for that particulat IRP what happens ? I could not find any
information related to this . Any help in this regard is appreciated . I
wanted to know what happens in case of "Synchronization with out cancel
routines " . I guess in this case when ever these IRP’s are cancelled by the
Io Manager the completion routine of that IRPs pended should be called
because InvokeOnCancel bit is set . But When I tested this, the cancelIo
call did not call any cancellation of IRP and my completion routine was
never called until I close the handle for the device . Am I missing
something here ?
Thanks in advance

If you queue IRPs, marking the IRPs as pending and returning
STATUS_PENDING from the dispatch routine for those IRPs, then the
IoManager may attempt to perform cancel processing on those IRPs, as a
consequence of thread termination or explicit thread action (CancelIo.)
See the DDK for documentation about IoSetCancelRoutine and related
documentation regarding cancel processing in drivers. The idea is that
your driver is responsible for satisfying the notification that the
originating application no longer is interested in performing the
request(s), typically by dequeueing and completing the indicated IRP(s).
It has to be your driver in the case where you ‘pended’ the IRP, as only
your driver really knows where the IRP is queued, and how to unqueue it
and complete it.

Handle to the device ) ? can anybody tell me How this logic works ?Thanks in advance
