- Re: NdisMQueryInformationComplete must be called at IRQL=DISPATCH_LEVEL??? Really?
- Posted by Pavel A. on July 6th, 2003
How can we be sure that NdisAcquireReadWriteLock _always_ raises irql
to dispatch? DDK 3790 documentation doesn't say so.

Going thru the code, it seems to me that NdisAcquireReadWriteLock always
raises the IRQL (either by acquiring a spinlock in the Write case or
explicitly raising the IRQL to DISPATCH_LEVEL in the read case).
I will file a bug to get this information added to the doc.
Not really. The doc says that callers typically run at DISPATCH_LEVEL but I
don't think that it must be called at DISPATCH_LEVEL. The code acquires an
internal lock as soon as you enter and it doesn't really make a check to see
whether you are running at DISPATCH_LEVEL. I will check with NDIS team and
see what they have to say.
