Device removal and "create requests"
Posted by BubbaGump on October 6th, 2006


When the DDK says to fail "create requests" after succeeding an
IRP_MN_QUERY_REMOVE_DEVICE, is it talking about IRP_MJ_CREATE? I'd
previously thought most drivers don't do anything for IRP_MJ_CREATE.
Is this a typo, since it also says that protection against new open
handles should already be taken care of by the OS except in broken old
Windows 98/Me (and open handles is what IRP_MJ_CREATE implies, isn't
it)?
