Re: Thread termination and synchronous IRP problem?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Wait with KernelMode/FALSE is NOT alertable at all, and the process is not
killable neither by Ctrl-C nor by Task Manager nor by KILL.EXE. It is just
plain hung in "semi-killed" state.

As far as I understand, a thread cannot get terminated while it is in
the kernel mode - thread's termination is postponed until it returns to
the user mode .

Correct. We are speaking about _whether KeWaitForSingleObject can be
interrupted_ by TerminateProcess or not.
