Re: Filter Hook

Hello and thanks Don for the answer.

It is running in IRQL_DISPATCH, I will try to reduce it and see what
happens.

Thanks,
Guy

A filter hook driver should not have an interrupt handler it is only
concerned with packets as they are presented to it. You should not try to
use IoConnectInterrupt with a software interrupt.

What IRQL are you running at when you crash, a common problem here would be
calling the functions you mentioned at IRQL_DISPATCH or higher.

Hi,

Drivers are very new to me, can someone help me with the next issue
please:

I have tried to set up a Filter Hook driver.
I took an example code from codeproject (DrvFltIp) and it works ok on
my computer (Windows XP).

When I try to process the packets more thoroughly than in this example
code, my computer crashed (freezes or restarts immediately).
The crash happens when I do something that involves a
KeWaitForSingleObject or a KeDelayExecutionThread call (but I am not
sure these are the only scenarios that cause a crash).

I looked in the dump file with WinDbg after the crash and saw that one
of the last actions of the kernel were sending an interrupt and
afterwards an exception. So my guess was that the kernel is sending a
trap that was sent to it by the hardware to my driver to handle, but
since I didn't set up an interrupt call back function, an exception is
raised.
The next thing I did was to try and set up an interrupt call back
function, but this also caused a similar crash to the system (when I
tried to pull out the parameters that I have to pass to the function
"IoConnectInterrupt" from the isrStack). I tried to call the function
"IoConnectInterrupt" from the function
"DriverObject->MajorFunction[IRP_MJ_CREATE]" when got "IRP_MJ_CREATE"
in "irpStack->MajorFunction" or when I got "IRP_MN_START_DEVICE IRP" in
"irpStack->MinorFunction". When I tried even to access the parameter
"irpStack->Parameters->StartDevice.AllocatedResourcesTranslated->Count"
(even without calling "IoConnectInterrupt") it caused a crash.

If anyone can help me understand what I am doing wrong, and why I am
getting all these crashes I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Guy
