Re: ZwWriteFile and buffer reuse

How can I make sure that NtWriteFile is complete?

Here is my file create routine and file write routines. I make sure in the

mean than write operation is actually completed. I tried to use event object
to signal write complete as shown below. But this event object never set
into signaled state.

status = ZwCreateFile(&(pDevExt->hFileHandle),
GENERIC_WRITE | SYNCHRONIZE,
&objAttrs,
&ioStatus,
0,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,

FILE_SUPERSEDE, FILE_SYNCHRONOUS_IO_ALERT,

KeClearEvent(gpDevExt->pfileEvent);
status = ZwWriteFile( pDevExt->hFileHandle,
pDevExt->pfileEvent,
NULL,
NULL,
&ioStatus,
pucStartAddress,
ulNumBytes,
NULL,
NULL);

KeWaitForSingleObject(pDevExt->pfileEvent,
Executive,
KernelMode,
FALSE,
NULL);

Wait until either NtWriteFile returns or signals asynchronous completion.
You cannot touch a buffer passed to NtReadFile/NtWriteFile while it is
working on the operation.

I use ZwWriteFile function to write data from a buffer to a file in a
worker
thread. I would like to know when can I resue the input buffer again to
fill
new data. Buffer is filled in the interrupt/DPC and once the buffer is
filled, a worker thread is scheduled to write the data to file. My
interrupt
routine is trying to write new date to the buffer while NtWriteFile
routine
is still running. This creates a bugcheck.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
RJ
